Our farm contains a lot of
woodland. It is easy to see the
woods and not notice individual
trees. Such is the case in a stand of
beech trees that surround one of
our 19 summer cottages.
Long ago I remember that one of

Over the years these American
beech have spread and now
dominate the forest growth in this
area. Only recently did I really
notice the small triangular nut
that was when I sat on some of the
prickly shells.
I’d just finished pushing a
wheelbarrow load of ear corn
through the field and since I was
tired I decided to sit on the veranda
of a nearby cottage. A huge oak
tree grows against the building and
a squirrel was sitting on a limb just
over my head. He didn’t seem to
notice my presence as he con
tinued to eat his nut while I rested.
There are many kinds of trees in
our woods including giant ash trees
and many black walnuts along
fence rows. There are sycamores
and basswood or linden trees along
the river. One of our largest oaks
was hit by lightening last year.
Of course, we have “weed” trees

I do hate to see these huge trees
cut down for lumber but I also
realize that if they are not removed
now, they will rot as was the case
of an enormous tulip poplar behind
our house.

Halloween Costumes
YORK - Halloween is ap
proaching and your children are
probably starting to think of the
“perfect” costume for the big
night of trick or treating. Save
money and foster creativity by
helping them design their own
costumes this year, says Extension
Home Economist A. Joan Lam
berson.
For inspiration they might think
of favorite cartoon characters or
look at coloring books or
storybooks. Rummage through
your attic and basement for old
clothing and other articles that
could be turned into imaginative
costumes.
Boxes with holes for arms can be
painted or colored. Smaller
children can decorate large paper
sacks, then cut holes for head and
arms.
Try looking into an old clothes

princess. Think of unusual ways to
use old clothes for costumes.
Pajama bottoms with feet can be
stuffed, then used for an upside
down hat. An old skirt can be worn
around the neck with holes cut out
for the arms. A little basting can
make old fabric scraps or old
sheets and towels the perfect touch
for a creative costume.
What types of sports equipment
do you have around your house?
Can you put together a football
uniform, tennis outfit or a wet suit?
Instead of masks, try letting
children decorate their faces.
Inexpensive makeup or colored
chalk can be used. You can even
use watercolor paints if a good
base or hand lotion is first applied
to the face. To create a ghostly
effect, apply flour over a hand
lotion base. Makeup is safer than a
mask, which can inhibit vision.
