OCTOBER 15 Canned 2 qt. pears and 4 qt. eggplant. Baked bread, ripped up black coat. Fine sunny day. Sunned plants outdoors. Cooked last beets from garden. Washed for 1st time since May! Nice day. Canned 1-1/2 qt. sandwich spread. Mended. Hilda home - no school today. She sewed. Hans working in Dane Co., was chauffeur. Dressed chicken, baked cake.
