BlS—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, September 29,1984 Ida's Notebook Ida Risser Colors are quite vibrant in the fall and I’m not even thinking of the autumn leaves. Although, I’ve noticed that the poison ivy and some maple trees are already showing red and orange foliage. My back porch has Christmas colors. Every few days I pick a basket of green beans and one of red tomatoes. I have sold some of the five bushel and given some way. This happened after I had already frozen 70 quarts of beans and canned 70 quarts of tomatoes and juice. It was then that I decided something else had to be done with them. We are trying to start a Bible Study group in my area and when I look the long, straight very green Kentucky Wonder beans along to a meeting, they were quickly grabbed up by the ladies. We had a poor attendance at our first meetmg. It seems that many of the ladies have jobs and are not free to come. Others have previous committments and feel that they are more important. The sharing and fellowship in such a group can be almost as important as the study itself. Talking about colors, I’ve just picked a lot of brightly colored flowers and put them in a mixture of commeal, borax and uniodized salt to dry. When my work of canning peaches, plums and pears finally slows down, then I get anxious to arrange the dried flowers in miniature vases. I’ve also hung different grasses and my perennial baby’s breath upside down to dry. This year I didn’t have much honesty to hang up and dry but that was fine as I have a lot from previous years. My salvia or scarlet sage and marigolds add their fiery red and deep orange and golden yellow to the autumn colors that we enjoy so much.
