Yesteiday, I took an eaily morning
walk up our lane and through the fields
If theie were animals about, they saw me
befoie I saw them
The Conestoga was muddy and swollen
from a lecent thaw Our meadow is flood
ed seveial times a year when it ovei
flows its banks -
This paiticular morning, I wanted to
see the exact spot wheie the old Peteis
Road crossed the cieek It foims a bound
ary of our faim and is the “oldest load to
the west ” With imagination, you can al
most see the dnveis urging then teams up
the banks fiom the cieek as theie was no
budge at this spot
The load is no longer open, but my
father tells me he diove his horse and
buggy acioss when going to hams and poik chops in the
church many yeais ago One months ahead
time the water was too high and
he got a scare as the animal
scrambled for footing and had
to swim across
Do other farm wives enjoy
chasing pigs as much as I do?
We’ve had a few amiable ones
over the years, but many aie

Recently, we tued to load
four in a rain and sleet stoim
It took half the family to ac
complish the feat They were
determined, but so were we.
When the job was finished,
we all were a muddy bedrag
gled looking group.
We will certainly enjoy those

By Ida Kisser
If I had to give up an ap
pliance this wmtei, it would not
he my diyer I’d soonei do the
dishes foi eight people by hand
When my fourth child was
bom and the oldest was only
seven, I decided a diyer was
needed
Some women say hanging
wash on the line is the only op
portunity they have to get out
of the house. I can find many
things to do besides fieezmg my
fmgeis
Diyers aie wonderful, but I
concede a washing machine is
moie important, as I lemember
the hand-operated kind 1
