94 —Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, May 19,1979 Ida’s Notebook Ida Risser The warm May weather makes everything grow rapidly. The weeds and grass in the perennial flower beds are growing tall and must be pulled. The sugar peas must be trained to grow on the fences and it is time to plant the lima beans. But surely it wouldn’t be wrong to take some time off and goon a hike with a friend in the woods. First, we spy several squirrels scam pering up some beech trees, on theside of the-trunk away from us. Later a large rabbit hops away through the brown leaves as we inspect the large clumps of white violets. My friend hears a splash in the Conestoga and looks quickly but only sees a pair of' Mallard ducks swimming away from some overhanging limbs.

The root of this plant was used as a dye by die Indians as a base for their war paint. Two easily recognized plants are the May Apple which forms an umbrella over the forest floor as it grows in dense patches and the Jack-in-the- Pulpit which grows on wooded hillsides. Its dried roots were used for flour by the Indians. We return down the lane and after a cool drink of my garden tea and a soft molasses cookie, it is time to get back to the workaday world and do some of those necessary chores.
