Sunday in the country is a long day without a doubt. We read, laid around, teased each other. My eye was swollen up so bad that I could hardly see and felt rather stiff too. Alta and I went for a walk and got some flowers. Most of the time we wandered around looking at each other and wondering what to do with ourselves.
