The thermometer’s red line
shrinks these frosty November
mornings while the brilliant moon
shines, beaconlike, through clear,
crisp fall nights.
Winter approaches. And even
without the golden carpet of leaves
around the house, the haze over the
pond at daybreak, or the glitter of
ice coating the roadside puddle
where the field path leaves the
blacktop, we’d know for sure that
the cold cometh.
For outside each house door, a
creature of stealth and speed
awaits, endangering the health and
welfare of any human luckless
enough to be caught in the annual
stampede of cats to the house.
Kid philosophy on this farm is
that every cat is a pet, not just to
be useful at the bam catching mice
and rats, but to be also cuddled, fed
with goodies snatched from Mom’s
kitchen and taught how cozy it can
be in the house.
So it is inevitable that with the
first evening chill, a mob of cats
lines up outside on the porches,
waiting for a door to open a crack
for a mad dash into the house.
Their strategy is that with enough
numbers, at least one or two of
them will make it.

championship title for sneaking
into the house through an inch of
opening. His success is a com
bination of years of experience and
cat caginess. Loss of one of his
eyes this summer, through
territorial squabbling over the
harem, hasn’t slowed his speed one
millimeter.
Old One Eye does look rather
strange at night though. More than
once I’ve come down the road in
the car after dark and had the
headlights pick up this lone, yellow
eye glaring at me. It’s kind of
eerie.
Size and cunning are a winning
sneak-in combination for this
year’s favorite kitten, Rambler.
This pudgy, tiger youngster
tumbled out of the nest at one week
old to explore and never went back
for more than a brief visit for
lunch. She spent the rest of her
time toddling after the kids and
winning their abundant affection.
If waylaid on her hip into the
woodstove warmth, Rambler
seeks sympathy by hanging from
her front legs from the grapevine
wreath on the storm door and
crying piteously for admittance.
Her way of saying thanks when
she does sneak through is to shinny
up your jeans pantleg, purring
IDEAL CHRISTMAS GIFTS
NORRISTOWN - The Mon
tgomery County 4-H Dairy Awards
banquet was held recently at
Yinglings Restaurant, Boyertown.
Clubs participating were the
Keystone Dairy Club and the
Western Mont-Berks Dairy Club.
Following a slide presentation by
Joseph H. Way, Montgomery
agricultural agent, entitled, “This
is 4-H,” the award portion of the
program began. The first award
was in recognition of the judging
team. This year the county was
represented by Mike Hetrick,
Karen Halteman and Kathleen
Kopistecki. Karen Halteman was
wildly. An attempt a couple of
nights ago, to perform that trick
with the teenager, who was
wearing jogging shorts at the time,
brought that acrobatic maneuver
to a halt.
Then there’s Gray, and big blue
gray fellow with a spotless splash
of white on his nose, and whiskers
that stretch about six inches
across. Gray is our resident attack
cat.
His method of operation is to
follow an innocent victim around,
just waiting until the unsuspecting
person bends down to pick
something up. Then this six-pounds
or so of sleekness gracefully leaps
to your left shoulder and curls
himself lovinly around your neck,
purring a welcome into your right
ear.
I shudder to think of the first
time Gray meets a cat-hater face
to face that way.
Anyone need a nice, loveable
house cat?

Joann said, “Hie Pennsylvania

exactly what we want to do for our

turned a corner in her country
cupboard into a craft nook. All the
crafts have been made by area
folks.

Goodies
very delicious one - a small bakery
section. This bakery area is
overflowing with gooey shoofly
pies, old-fashioned sugar and
molasses cookies.
Not only has the country baked
goods been good for Nolt’s
business, but it has also started the
baker in business.
Joann said that she has been
selling 35 to 45 pies and 25 to 30
dozen of cookies a week since their
grand opening. The baker is a
friend and neighbor of the Nolts
and Joann added, “She make
delicious pies.”
“For the first few weeks, she
was baking pies every day.
However, now we have it down to
more of a system,” Joann laughed.
And, according to one little girl
who was shopping in the store with
her mother, “They have the very
best eggs and everything else too.”
Joann and Gerald said, “It’s
satisfying to know your customers
are really pleased with the
products.
