Ida’s Notebook
Sometimes it takes such a little thing
to cheer us up
Feeling a bit down, I took a look
around outside. There was a tiny jenny
wren singing its heart out and hopping in
and out of a birdhouse which my son built
The early sugar peas were blooming
and had peas hanging on an inch long.
Even the older cows were kicking up
their heels like heifers as they were put out
to pasture. I really enjoy seeing them romp
the first time they go into the meadow Add
a little sunshine and a breeze, and we’ve no
excuse for a frown on our face.
As we’ve just put up a big silo, I had to
get in it and try it out for echoes. Now I too
know what it feels like to ge the last pickle
in a jar.
, , you? lam speaking of car trou-
Have you ever had your f,
wheels taken out from under
By Ida Risser
It seems our cars tiny “klunk,
klunk” turned out to be a major
part which needed to be ordered.
It will take about two weeks, the
garage man cheerfully informed
us.
So we borrowed a car and
within 24 hours it needed a new
starter and left us stranded at a
shopping center on a rainy
night.
But even this didn’t keep me
home. I’d never driven my hus
band’s six ton truck, but I used
it anyway to take the children to
the school bus over a mile away.
I prefer a car.
About this time of year, when
I was a child, we took our annual
trip to Northeast, Md. for fish.
It wasn’t a few hours drive at
that time, but rather a days
journey over muddy roads I re
member my father laying bur
lap bags on the road to get out
of mud holes into which oui car
sank.
The heriing, shad and eel were
brought home in lard cans and
cleaned in tubs of water
One year I managed to back
into a tub of bloody water.
Whereupon, I was promptly fish
ed out, spanked and sent to bed

“I wouldn’t use more than IV2
caps of pureed strawberries in
pudding or it will get too tmck

coat your cake This is a very
simple, quick dessert.”
Elsewhere, we have received
a letter from R. G Kamoda,
Monongahela, Pa , wno wants to
know if any of our subscribers
can forward a recipe on how to
make “a cottage cheese that can
be sliced.”
He recalls that his father made
it, using a culture involving the
addition of liquid to heavy milk.
‘‘l can’t remember what it was,
but it sure was a delicious
cheese,” he noted. Perhaps
some of our readers can answer
this query in our Dairy Issue.
Kamoda also wants to know if
anyone is familiar with the
prickly ash, or toothache bush.
He found one on a neighbor’s
land and it fascinated him.
Any interested readers can
deal directly with R. G. Kamoda,
Box 282, RDI, Monongahela,
Pa 15063 or forward it to Lan
caster Farming, P 0. Box 266,
Lititz, Pa 17543 for publication.
