Ida’s
Notebook
Ida Risser
As summter draws to a close, we
attended one last picnic. This one
was a community picnic held at a
local church grounds.

As the leaves begin to fall off the
trees, we finish some of the last
jobs in our gardens. My husband is

very sweet so they were picked up
quickly.
Soon we can remove the air con
ditioner from the window and I’ll
put an extra blanket on the bed as
the temperature drops into the 40s
in the morning. Our two maple
trees will shortly have orange and
red leaves again.

perfect peppers for competition. Kauffman, a former farmer, said that he didn’t water
the sweet peppers despite dry weather conditions, but he did use a commercial fertil
