Pallia Apple Time
Apples arc abundant now
and can be purchased In
almost every supermarket
and market stand in
southeastern Pa. Apples arc
versatile and can be used for
desserts and snacks as well
as In salads and casseroles.
Macinlosch apples arc good
for baking pies and cobblers.
Their tangy taste helps to
flavor desserts well. Red and
Yellow Delicious while not as
tangy are excellent for
eating right out of the dish.
Apple cider makes a good
snack combined with cin
namon donuts while ap
plesauce can complement
many meals. Apples are now
in season and at a good buy.
Why not try some this week!

As I sit down to write this
article, I behold grey skies
laden with rain for the third
straight day. This is not
conducive to filling the silo;
the stalks become browner
and the farmer’s temper
shorter.
But after reading a
newspaper article, which my
mother gave me, I’m sure
we should all be glad its is
“only” rain. You see, this
June 1888 script described a
hail storm of tremendous
proportion which took place
in the Lititz area.
The hail stones weighed Vz
pound and could be shoveled
up like snow. Eight large ice
cubes weigh l k pound the
therefore would be larger
than a man’s fist.) It was
reported that 340 windows of
glass were broken at the
Linden Hall Seminary (in
Lititz). Hail crashed through
roofs made of tin and tile and
also broke through the
double slats of the inside
shutters. Even mentioned is

uncle’s house with plate
glass windows, 3-8 inch thick
were broken. Many farmers
fields of wheat and rye were
cut to pieces.
The other week, I attended
a retreat for women out of
our church. It was a fine

autumn day and after group
sessions at Cameron House
Estates in the morning we
had an opportunity to walk
alone in the afternoon
through the grounds and
woods. It offered a chance to
know others and yourself
belter.
As I reached the top of the
woodlot and looked out over
the countryside, a feeling of
reverence came to me and I
thought of the verse from
Psalms, “Be still and know
that I am God.” We need to
pause in our busy lives and
pray.
