Ida’s
Notebook
These are busy August
days for most everyone I’m
sure. But in our area we’ve
had more than our share of
rain and so not only are the
garden crops abundant but
so are the weeds. It’s been
too wet to hoe and so I’ve
been doing loads of hand
weeding.
When I get an extra basket
of beans, I try to sell them.
In this way I learn of the
eating habits of other people.
Some tell me that they cook
them three hours before
eating them-I always
thought ten or fifteen
minutes was best. Others
say, “No beans thank you,
we don’t eat any hot meals in
the summer.” Really, I can’t
imagine a day without big,
hot, cooked meals. But then
my menfolk work very hard.
At present they have just
finished tearing down an old
shed .which now appears to
have been the original bam
on this Weidler farm. They
found harness pegs in the
lower section and took up 2”
A donation was given to
PAR and also to an accident
victim from the local area.
The date for the County
Convention is October 7, at
the Ag Center.
The next meeting will be
September 19 at the home of
Mrs. Merrill Hetrick, Oley.

wooden pegged floor boards.
The planks are vertically
sawed too. With this type of
extra work, plus caring for
the many dairy animals,
they need good food for fuel.
In order to tear down the
building the calves and
heifers had to be moved.
Naturally, the heifers
managed to get out of the
electric fence and into the
garden and yard. As long as
this happens in the daytime
and not at night when they
could eat all the sweetcom, I
shouldn’t complain.
Now if I get the peaches
canned and Cindy taken
back and forth to Band
Camp for a week, I guess I’ll
survive August, fhg
question is-wUI her feet
survive all those hours of
marching and drilling?
