The pond-maker came yesterday, and we chose a location and qualities for my pond, though with the stock market plunging (and plunging) I don’t know whether I’ll be able to afford it. I have until March to decide. The pond maker is a big round-faced pleasant guy from Dayton, whose mother was Miss America after having been Miss Ohio, and whose father is a champion hairdresser. He has written articles about frogs and toads, but someone didn’t know that free frogs, too, must breed in water.
   
Enjoying my classes, without certain conviction that they are getting from me what they need.
