 Bizarre dreams. —

1. Of coming homing [sic] and finding that Gordon Washburn teen age son was demolishing our garbage can; when Washburn came to see me about some matter, — I said to him “Listen Gordon, you must admit you’ll have to pay for the damage your son is doing —“Instead of answering me, he got down and started to crawl under the turf along our driveway; in a few moments he was completely under, his form plainly visible under the sod……

2. A peacock — a dog worrying it — the peacock growled and just like a dog. And gave one bark. When the dog came at it, the bird opened its mouth wide, and stuck out a huge tongue, — the dog rushed forward and started licking the peacock’s tongue, at which the peacock closed its mouth, covering the dogs whole head.

     A.M. — B & I shopping at Loblaw’s — a fine fresh day, after the storms departure.

     P.M. — B babysitting for M. —

     Working on another drawing — “Backgrounds in Spring” —
