Charles E. Burchfield, Journals, May 12, 1963

With our special Mother’s day “decorations”  (corsage of red rose buds and white carnations for Bertha and a white carnation for me) we set out for  church – a fine sunny morning –

After church to West Valley Tea-room for dinner – the country lovely – as if a pale-yellow veil had been thrown over the landscape, and some of the pink-brown of bared trees shown through in places.

Evening Sally called up, needlessly apologetic for not sending any remembrances to Bertha (Laurel had had tonsillitis all week) – She has a new job, better in every way than the one she lost through coming to my shows –
