Halloween. Does it bring to your mind ghosts, goblins, and ghouls? The scariest thing I envision at Halloween season, though, is not a witch, a black cat, or a spook--but a downright terrifying act that goes something like this: The Scene: That eternal “farm” in the sky. The Cast: St. Peter, who guards the heavenly far mgate to the promised land; and the Hazardous Har vesting Hurrying Farmer St. Peter: What are you doing here; it’s the middle of com picking? Down there sits your machinery. You came to the wrong place if it’s parts you wanted. HHH Fanner: No, no! This is all an awful mistake! I just started to clean out this awful choke-up of stalks and.... St. Peter: ...and you left it running to save tune... HHH Farmer; Certainly! Like I always tell my worrying wife, it takes three times longer to pull out a choke up if you turned the blasted thing off! Besides, I was in a hurry to finish that last comer - it’s after 10 p.m. ya’ know - and I’ve been out there since sunup. St. Peter: You mean you haven’t been off that machine in 16 hours’ HHH Farmer: lia mi r 4 Notebook Sandwiched between the rainy and dreary days we’ve had this season Allen and I, with some friends, found a sunny Saturday to travel through the Pocono Mountains. The Oktoberfest which was planned for the weekend stopped a half hour to ser vice stuff, gas-oil-grease; gotta’ take care good care of this $30,000 harvester. It takes forever to get parts when she breaks down. St Peter: But you won’t take tune to refuel and rest yourself? Are parts for you easier to get than for that overgrown corn chopper? No wonder you got so careless! You should’ve greased your common sense instead of the chains. HHH Fanner: Now you sound like my wife, too. Tell you what: let me go finish and I promise to do better next year. St. Peter: Sorry pal, you can’t go back from up here. Besides, it’ll take you an eternity to explain this whole thing to our resident OSHA inspector.

It was quite a thrill to travel up the 2800 foot slopes on an open chair. We looked down on grassy areas and on big boulders as we ascended. The view on the way down of surrounding mountains was spectacular as the trees were clothed in orange, red, yellow leaves interspersed with evergreens.

We were served a Polish sausage, red cabbage, and German potato salad. There were many shops renting ski equipment located nearby in addition to a babysitting service. But, I fear I’m a bit past the ‘Team to ski” age and will have to leave this experience for my children. Recently, I hear an unusual story told about this old house of ours. It seems that a young lady by the name of Adeline lived here in the 1840’s and had several boy friends coming to see her. She told her grandson how, on one occasion, she was entertaining a young man in the parlor while his horse was stabled in the bam. On this particular night another young fellow came down the lane and seeing the horse in the bam became Bazook/a^s' ervice, Inc. AND ALL quite upset and unhitched his animal and urged it up on the front porch. Then he proceeded to clip-clop, clip clop back and forth for quite a while.
