The middle of March and we’re
not sure what to expect. Will we
have a gusty wind or a light
breeze; will we have a beating
rain or a soft rain?
I’ve pruned the blueberries and
the grapes earlier than usual this
year as the warm weather made
me feel like getting out and en
joying everything. We saw a wild
goose in our meadow and took a
picture of it taking off from the
Conestoga. We’ve seen a grey fox
dash across the lane and robins in
the woods. The tulips are coming
up around our mailbox. Spring is
indeed a gift from God.
Talking about not knowing
what to expect, I’m reminded of a
story I’ve always liked.
A man moved into a new neigh
borhood. He asked a farmer, who
lived nearby, what kind of people

lived in the area and if they were
friendly. The fanner replied by
asking a question of his own.
“What kind of neighbors did you
have in your former home?” The
man told him they were friendly
and hospitable. Then the farmer
said he could expect to find the
folks in the new area just the
same as his previous neighbors.
How true this is. Many a family
moves to get away from
disagreeable neighbors, only to
find that the new ones are equally
unpleasant.

The other day I read a history
of Manheim Township written
over 100 years ago. Some things
have changed a great deal and
others have not.
In 1870, there were three post
offices in the township and the
total population was only 2,603
with 2,460 being native born. I
would guess that now most of the
24,000 have not been born here.
There were nine colored folks
in the 1870 census and this figure
remains about the same. Another
similarity is the names which
were listed as “most prominent
and best practical farmers”
Landis, Shirk, Brubaker,
Shreiner, Hostetter, Graybill,
Shenk, Hiestand, Rudy and
Esbenshade.
Organized in 1729 as one of the
original townships, it still con
tinues to grow.
