The beginning of March and the
garden seeds and flower seeds
are still unordered. Just can’t
seem to find time to order early.
We try to grow something a bit
different each year in addition to
the usual 20 varieties of
vegetables. One year it was
okra, then kohlrabi and even a
row of peanuts to show the
children how they grow.
I think I know the names of a
few flowers, until I look over a
catalog and see all those un
familiar ones. Even though mine
do not look as beautiful as the
ones in the book, they do give me
a wide choice for bouquets all
summer.
of games and contests with prizes
for high and low scorers.

Communication is important in
the family and the community.
We all hear a lot about the
generation gap but luckily our
family is a very talkative group
and can discuss everything and
anything.
Our Township has now em
ployed “Community Relations”
personnel. Through this en
deaver, the officers of four PTA
organizations were recently
invited to have lunch with the
principal of the district. An in
teresting discussion ensued on
new schools and new types of
cirriculum in a year-round school
program.
It seems to be a matter of
hearing the other person’s point
of view and having a chance to
express ours.
XXX
Living close to a building
development has its ups and
downs. A number of years ago we
had two non-farm children come
to visit us when we were not at
home.
However, they stayed to play in
the barn. First, they divided a
“full” bag of milk replacer
between a number of small
calves tied at various places.
Then they gave each a pan of
water.
Tiring of these feeding chores,
they came to the house to catch
cats. During the chase, a roasting
pan of meat was upset and by the
time we arrived home the cats
had devoured the meat and the
children had fled.
For the sake of good will, we
never disclosed this episode to
the parents.
Fix-It Tip
In the event a power failure
disrupts the heating system
in your home:
• An electric pump cir
culates the water in a hot
water system. Turn off the
pump, open the flow valve on
the water line and the warm
water will circulate.
• If you have a fireplace
or a gas stove, use these for
sources of heat, closing off
other rooms and keeping the
family in the one warm
room.
• If a window breaks,
make temporary repairs
Large sheets of plastic
stapled to the window frame
are best Fake permanent
repairs, then, after the wind
subsides.
