Around another comer,
the tractor refused to start
again. I suppose if someone
had left me parked in that
windy spot behind the shed
for four days they’d have
trouble getting me started,
too. Stalled tractors usually
mean towing. One farm wife
I know of claims that helping
to tow machinery starts
more farm family fights
than any other cause. Ac
tually, it is difficult to
remain on speaking terms
with a husband who keeps
reminding you that he
signalled you to stop, but you
ignored him, and that’s why
his good log chain is now in
three pieces. Oh, the perils
and pitfalls of pulling pooped
pieces of equipment...

ducks, each standing on one
foot on the frozen ground and
looking for all the world like
they might consider the
crockpot an acceptable
alternative. When I asked
for a volunteer though, no
one as much as raised a
wing. After carefully
weighing all the angles, I
recalled how much I despise
duck-plucking and granted a
reprieve. Didn’t someone
ask for hamburgs for dinner,
anyway?
Aha! Around the house
comer finally came one sign
of Spring. It’s the fluffy gray
housecat-and she’s lost her
figure. Somehow I suspect
that the broad tummy isn’t
coming from overfeeding on
the abundance of bam mice
in the haymow.
If kittens are on the way,
can Spring really be far
behind?

Notebook
We hear so much about the
breakdown of the family
being the root of the world’s
troubles. Is the opposite then
also tme-a solid background
in a loving family wifi. cure
the world’s ills? In other
words, do caring parents
givechildren lasting values?
It seems to me that many
farm families are
representative of those that
struggle with a definite
purpose in mind. Per
petuation of life is the reason
for their existence. They are
not only interested in the
present but they also plan for
the future. There is a con
tinuity about their very
lives. They choose to live not
only for themselves but they
also are concerned for
others.

A letter to my husband’s
mother, from her college
professor brother, upon her
marriage over 60 years ago,
urged her and her farmer
husband to be leaders in
their community as they had
the privilege of both being
school teachers and college
graduates.
On a farm one does not
search for jobs to keep busy.

There are ample op
portunities for all to pitch in
-even young children. There
is no problem such as
suburbanites have in only
having waste baskets to
empty and a yard to mow as
responsibilities for their
youngsters.
There is a sense of unity in
that a good year and a job
well done pays off for
everyone. When money is
tight everyone feels the
pinch and then we learn that
there are other joys in life
which can be shared; even
the simple act of sitting
down and talking to each
other.
I believe that farm
families celebrate the past
more than many others do.
Maybe it is because they
aren’t as mobile as some
families. They really are
tied to the soil and what
grandpa or even great
grandpa did is talked over
and discussed. Being of a
conservative strain, many
reminders of early life here
in America have been
preserved and handed down
generation after generation.
Let us hope our youth will
do us proud.
