Fall is a time of preparation for
the winter season. We harvest and
store up food for ourselves and the
animals here on our dairy farm.
The men make plans to fill the big
silos and the com crib. I harvest
the edible soybeans, dig potatoes
and pull the peanut stalks and
hang them-up to dry. The last
beans and tomatoes will soon be
picked. And this year. I’ll have an
abundant supply of sweet, mild
Chinese cabbage. It can be used
like lettuce in salads, shredded for
slaw or stir-fried.

This has been a good year for
gathering nuts. There are so many
hickory nuts that our many squir
rels cannot carry them all away.
The black walnuts cover the
ground and I get a backache pick
ing them all up. Picking them up is
only a small part of the job of get
ting nutmeats for cookies. The
hulls must be removed and then
the nuts are allowed to dry before
they are cracked open. Some peo
ple actually enjoy picking the nut
meats out of the shells. I guess I’m
one of them.

Our middle daughter and her
family visited us from Atlanta,
Georgia, last week. Their daught
er, Elizabeth, is 13-months-old
and walks quite well. But, she
didn’t see a step down into our
kitchen and she fell and got a
>mall cut on her face. They were
able to visit several friends in our
area during their stay in Lancaster
County. Judy found a place to buy
•easonably priced natural-colored
<vool to make an afghan and her
ausband bought several train sets
or Christmas.
Now that they’re gone it seems
i bit quiet here but I’m sure I’ll
ind things to do to keep me busy.

Often called red gold, the

Jersey’s pine woods around 1835.
Festival visitors can view the col
orful harvest by taking a bog tour.
A harvest tour schedule and reser
vation form is available by writing

Creating a Cranberry Tradition
is a theme woven throughout the
Fest’s contests for the best
decorated house or business, the
best-dressed vendor, and the most
attractive booth. Prizes are given
to the winning cranberry recipes,
as well as to arts and crafts with a
cranberry motif. A Pine Barrens
photography contest and the Cran

Show are visual gems. “Cranberry
