B2B—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 11,1984 (. Onbei a farm -And o hazar Joyce B' For a while there, I was eagerly looking forward to Valentine’s Day. For while I have no hopes for a dozen red roses at fifty bucks a shot, there was recent evidence that perhaps my valentines might all chip in and ante up about a 10 pound box of top notch chocolates for their chief cook and calf feeder. They actually had told me, you see, that I don’t weigh enough. You’ve got to understand the background from whence this inconceivable notion cometh. The problem was that I slowed up the sledding. Site of this unlikely revelation is our favorite upstate haunt where squirrels and chickadees play in the piney woods and snowmobiles pack the mountain trails just right for a Lightning Glider streak down through the stands of laurel. With eager anticipation, a perfect crispy, wintry morning and a mountainside filled with pristine snow laced with packed paths, we steadily ascended the trail during a quickie weekend stop at the hunting camp during a cattle hauling business excursion. It was Dad who departed first |S3 MR.

I was nominated next on the run. Jouncing over the initial hip and rib jarring bumps in the trail, I swerved around the first sharp angle and eyeballed the fairly level stretches ahead, broken only by a slight incline. While the first flat caused me considerable loss of momentum, the second demanded that I shove gloved hands into the snow beneath and “help” my mode of transport along until the slope again steepened. Funny, I had remembered it as much faster. Maybe the ice storm the last time had helped. Imagine the humiliation when, three quarters of the way down, a voice yelled into my ear “Move over!” and the teenager zoomed past at a clip considerably faster than mine. Not much farther along, a second indignity was heaped on my belly-down prone form, clawing my way down this run inch by inch.

Ensueing runs down the mountain, even one on Third Gap’s ice-packed dirt road, left yours truly bringing up the rear. Plus, with each additional ride, the bumps grew higher and the dips deeper, while increasingly sore spots on hips and rite Winter Pruning Good for Here s a reminder from C.H Bryan, Jr, Delaware County Extension agent, that the dormant season is a good time to prune ornamental shrubs and vines, particularly summer flowering shrubs. You should prune to improve the health of your plants, control size and shape, increase the flower display and remove overcrowded stems or branches. To improve the health of your plants, cut out dead, diseased or damaged wood and remove old wood that interferes with new growth Unless you use them as formal hedges, prune your shrubs so they keep their natural shape Vines need pruning to limit growth and remove old wood. By pruning branches back to a bud you can control the direction of growth. The new shoot will grow in the direction the bud points. However, don’t prune spring flowering shrubs. This would remove many of the flower buds that will bloom in the spring. Prune spring flowering shrubs as soon as the flowers fade in the spring before new growth begins r NAME ADDRESS PH NO. ATTENDING crashing into the sled screamed how black and blue they were turning. It was a unanimous conclusion that maybe Mom needed more weight for speed and padding A hint about Valentine’s Day certainly couldn’t hurt. Second thoughts set in, though, when I hauled in the morning mail back home and there before my PLACE: LEOLA FAMILY REST. SPONSORED BY Hollinger's FARM and HOME SUPPLY R.S.V.P.
