22—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, June 24. 1972 I \ V' eb ° ' «• <,*** Life gets so hectic at times. As when one child leaves for a week in Michigan, another leaves for a new job and one comes home from college with boxes and boxes of stuff. Not to mention mother and father’s regular work on a dairy farm and in a big garden in June. So, I figure I need all the luck I can get. This Spring I discovered a big clump of clover in a field. (I’d just taken a jacket out to a little boy who was discing in the Farm Women Calendar Sunday, June 25 12:30 p.m -- Farm Women Society 27, family picnic, meadow at home of Mr. and Mrs. Galen Benner, Mount Joy RDI Thursday, June 29 Farm Women Society 11, home of Mrs William Johnson, Ox ford.

How about a ham and elephant cheese sandwich for lunch 9 Ida Risser rain.) To get back to my story, this particular plant was full of four-leaved clovers. I almost couldn’t believe it. So that it wouldn’t be plowed down, I transplanted it to my yard. Now all I need is a market for my four, five and six-leaved plants. Guess I’ll just share them with friends who come to visit. xxx Not so very long ago my family spent a Sunday afternoon at the Hagley * Museum near Wilmington, Dex. During a three mile bus trip along the Bran dywine one can see the remains of the mills used by the duPonts to manufacture explosives. These were used in canal building, mining, opening of the West and in the nations wars. Admission is free to the barn, copper shop and museum building. XXX When I look at my half-empty 30-cubic-foot freezer, which I’m gradually filling, I’m reminded of what happened long ago when it was partially empty. One of my children selected a box of fruit from it and didn’t notice that a big black cat jumped in while the door was open We happened to open the freezer again the next day and it was a stiff cat which slowly jumped out on the floor. Ap parently it spent a lot of time pacing in that dark, zero-degree atmosphere.
