Night Patio Scenes From Lockhart Kitchen Window
A fragmentary diary riff from Lockhart Texas on November 4 describes changing Texas weather, prior weekend patio cookouts, a cool Sunday, garden plants in bloom, home greenhouses built of chicken wire and plastic, an orchid in bloom, Wan dering Jew vine taking over a bench, and local produce including corn husks at 88 cents a pound and a pie story from an Iowa trip.

Mahlon Leichtys Move Near Noble Town Status Drops
Mahlon Leichtys moved from the Leonard Leichty tenant house to the former Simon P Wyse home on Highway 78 one mile south of Noble. Noble's population is at its lowest ever with twenty eight residents and one set to leave. Wedding bells seem to be jingling as three homes stand vacant and Bill Schantz has died. Edna Widmer and Mrs Leonard Wyse visited with little John David Unternahrer. Northern Lights were display Friday evening. A coincidence ties to a Chicago Drawers Journal household pick. Weather memories recall October 26 snow and 1925 misery. Celery harvest tales mix with hobgoblins visiting. The Leonard Leichtys hosted a birthday dinner for Cathy Canby’s family October 27 including Jim and Kathryn Canby, Irvin Leichty, David Graber, and Dallas Leichty.
