SHENK'S FARM SERVICE Lititz R.D.4 PHONE 626-4355 Woods Drive 2 Miles East Of Route 501 Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 13,1972 I V ebo ' «• ' I It has been the custom at our house to bring me flow ers on May Day There is a special method of delivery. First, a loud knock on the front door followed by run ning feet as the child hides before the door is opened I‘ve been lucky enough to have small children carry out this tradition for each of the last 20 years. This year I found a big bouquet of Virginia bluebells and a small one of violets and spring beauty. Of course, the children always get a kiss and a hug for their thoughtfulness. Another sign of Spring is the return of many very noisy Bluejays to our meadow. Their feathers are beautiful but I find their loud, harsh calls un pleasant The thrushes are here also and are busy building their nests in blackberry brambles. When young birds are in the nest, the thrush is quite brave and swoop very close to persons who disturb her. xxx One of the advantages of a Community 4-H Cllub is the diversification within the Club. There is such a variety of projects available that most any child can find one to his liking. My own children have tried their hand at raising pigs, growing sweetcorn, raising flowers, collecting and iden tifying rocks, building a bookcase and caring for bees. It is only by doing a number of things that they have a basis for deciding in which direction their interest lies. The appeal of some particular project may hold their interest for life. XXX My love of reading books far surpasses the time I can find to do it. This doesn’t keep me from buying books and hoping to read them some day between lun- Ida Rissi cheons, committee meetings and phone calls Last month I bought several books from a collection of a retired minister They covered subjects such as cultivating wildflowers, poetry and even the Apocrypha The few extra books I picked up at the book sale in the Lancaster Library only added to my unread collection.
