A new year has begun and
all of us are likely to think of
a few ways in which we could
improve ourselves. But for
most people it will just be a
continuation of the same
daily life as before. If we are
surrounded by family and
friends and are in good
health we simply don’t
realize our many blessings.
This past season my sister
and her family drove in from
Michigan and explained how
much it meant to her to visit
home territory again, even
though the preparations for a
week’s trip are enormous.
Our daughter phoned on
Christmas day for a long talk
with everyone and we plan to
send her a tape of our ac
tivities. It seems that home
and family are appreciated
more by those who are far
away.
“If winter comes, can
spring be far behind?”
We’ve heard this statement
many times and it was what
I thought of when I got my
seed catalog in the mail ten
days ago.
The cover is colorful with
flowers, tomatoes and a cut
cantaloupe. In leafing
through the pages every hue
and tint seems to strike the
eye. I simply must try a few
new kinds of flowers next
year or maybe plant okra
and kohlrabi again as the
younger children don’t
remember them.

However, for the present
I’m content to sit before our
corner fireplace in our old
house and study antique
maps of our township or read
biographies of some of its
former citizens. As the
flames and sparks shoot
upward and its warmth
envelopes me, I count the
weeks until the sun will
warm me.
