Mary Yesterday

I stopped and spoke with Mary yesterday ready for winter and freezer full she is hoping that Georgia Power won't cut off the juice Three hundred jars she has put up of this and that and jellies too Glad for spring and summer toil Poor she is and knows it yet proud she is as well wondering what's to come of poor folks with prices the way they are But brother Jack is well (praise the Lord for that!) been so long since he's touched the stuff and Uncle Sam finally came through with the long overdue disability He has himself a fine little nursery going and with the cold coming on there are plants everywhere except the sofa Better than bottles (Lord, yes) I saw Mary yesterday and she and brother Jack well they are looking to tomorrow
