Ida’s
Notebook
Ida Risser
September has always been a
busy month for me. A few years
ago it meant getting children
ready for school. We never went on
big spending sprees but always
needed new trousers for the boys
and every child needed new shoes.
Now all six are on their own and
manage their own wardrobes.
Mother and father try to manage
the farm alone. Sometimes the
work load is almost more than we
can handle. My husband has been
looking for good help for a long
time. We really hit bottom with our
last hired boy as he was only here
two weeks and worked only half of
those days.
When my husband was loading
some bull calves for market, one of
them leaped over a fence and
headed for the cornfield. It is wily
and has not yet been coaxed back
into its hutch beside the barn.
We’ve been visited by wild geese
rather early this year. And early in

the morning when they fly from
one area of the river to another,
they are loud enough to awaken
everyone.
I’ve been canning peaches and
plums and yesterday I picked a
few buckets of Concord grapes to
be made into juice. It is one job
that makes me happy when it is
finished and the purple juice is
ready for the cellar shelves. As our
sweetcorn is always planted rather
late, the job of freezing it comes in
September too.
Our neighbor had two heifers fall
off of a high cliff into the Conestoga
River. One was rescued when a
local hunter doffed his clothes and
swam across to guide it to a muddy
beach. My husband got it out with
the loader on his tractor but it was
injured and had to be butchered.
There is never a dull moment
around here.

York 4-H Leaden Honored For Service
YORK - Adult and teen 4-H
leaders were recognized at an
annual banquet held at the Seven

leaders will become leaders in
their communities later in life.
