Our last full day—and beautiful. A morning ride—Nancy along this time. Lunch on the patio with Dennis & Barney. Then D. & B. & I back up on Mt. Rhino to our pruning. Completed the main cut but a little trimming & clean up left for next visit.

Rcvd. call from Ken D. with news of Geo. Bush’s win in the New Hampshire primary—that made my day even if I do have to be neutral publicly.

Tomorrow we leave the house at 8:35 for the flight back.
