Ida’s Notebook
Warm weather brings a surge of acti
vities on the farm and somehow the energy
to accomplish them There are extra loads
of manure to haul and fences to be re
paired. The yard has twigs to be raked and
a garden to be planted.
Apparently the childrens’ hopes of one
last snowfall for-sledding won’t materialize
and the sled, saucer, and toboggan will
have to be wrestled to the attic for storage
Last week I saw a flock of juncos
These little snowbirds resemble sparrows
and only when you see them fly -do you
realize they have white wing feathers.
This morning my little boy stroked the
feathers of a large brown thrush like
bird on our cement walk before it flew
away to our asparagus patch Sometimes j feel this age
We can t figure this out group lives in a world all its
It -reminded me of the quail o wn.
which followed me back 3&d-- As a blg groU p they frighten
forth through the garden e mej w j len y OU can W ork with
other year. This bobwhite even t j,em on an individual basis,
came to the back porch, bu we tlley are fun and challenging,
caught it and earned it to e j believe we should listen
woods so our cats wouldn tca w hen they talk and not get ex
it- _ cited over little things
The Pennsylvania Game Com
mission stocks our farm and
they may have released the
cfuail with some pheasants and
therefore it was rather tame
We certainly enjoyed hearing
its whistle
Our church has an active
Youth Club It consists of about
125 seventh, eighth and ninth
graders. They meet every Sun
day night for two houis There
is a period of recreation, a meal
is served and then the evening
ends with religious mstiuction
and discussion
It takes many dedicated men
and women to handle this group
I’ve served as table hostess and
■worked with the kitchen detail
