-62- entertaining myself by making paper flowers; writing and reading a very little; for my eyes would not stand much. I looked over towards Uncle's with longing eyes to see someone coming coming over to see me. Theoline and Ida Mary tried to come every day; often bringing me pretty flowers from their little garden: which were put in a beautiful bowl shaped vase; which Uncle and Aunty had given me one day while I stayed with them. During Theoline's many walks over the mountains after the cows; she would gather large bluebells; and numerous wild flowers, and give to me: which I enjoyed so much. It would be unnecessary to plant shrubry for decoration where so many beautiful hardy ferns are growing natural; and bushy lavander long in abundance growing near the houses: while blue-bells, butter-cups and other flowers decorate the fields, yards and mountains: making Roiseland a truly picturesque place to look upon. Kristina Oxefjeld also brot me many flowers; sometimes walking thru the rain to bring them. I gave her some paper roses which I had made. We enjoyed Bergine's frequent visits; and Georg's seldom ones. Occasionally
