No. Sorry. I just don’t wanna’ give it up. Yes, it’s true. The early morn ing TV new’s weatherman had hinted in warning tones about the “S” word. He never actually came out and said... sss ... sn ... ssnn ... sno ... See. I can’t even bring myself to say it There is still too much com standing in fields. Too much last cutting hay to be tucked into silos and bales. Probably some fields that fanners would like to plant to fall-seeded grain, weather permit ting. And goodness knows how many acres of soybeans continue slowly sinking to die ground while waiting for the combines to get to them. It’s a blessing of a harvest for farmers and consumers both if we can just get it all under roof. If Mother Nature just holds off on that sss ... sn... ssnn... sno Sony. It’s a mental hangup. So, like everyone else, I have my own way of coping with it Some people wax their skis. Some folks oil and tune-up their snow mobiles.

Rummaging for more of that last-ditch stuff to crowd into the greenhouse and onto windowsills. Anything to hang onto the growing season. Sweeping the patio clear of crunchy leaves and into a pile where the dog loves to curl up in them turns up a bunch of vol unteer impatiens seedlings in the cracks between the patio blocks. Impatiens are a personal favorite, one of the few plants to cheerfully grow bright blooms under the dense shade of our old maple trees. So the dozen or so seedlings are potted, watered, and join another two dozen larger pots of impatiens happily blooming under glass. Never mind that nearly every year we get at least one extreme cold spell that causes them to go belly up. Every year I vow not to bother, and every fall I turn around and bring in even more than the previ ous year. Like I said. I don’t wanna give it up.

Their roots are tugged from the ground, the (frost-nipped) tops trimmed back and the plants plunked into pots. And I’m not even that fond of wax begonias, for goodness’ sake. Still, anything that will still be green and blooming come Febru ary, even halfheartedly, deserves a chance.

Phillip Walker, the second owner, was father to George P.H., then came Josiah Walker the fourth owner; Freeman, Walter T., then the Pauls. The bicentennial birthday of Clover Hill Farms was on January 11, 1988, officially recognized at the state farm show Harrisbuig. Walker, in a self-written, brief histoiy found in “The Berlin Area 1777-1977” wrote that PcnnDOT, by way of condemnation, took 40 acres of the farm on November 25, 1975 for a future four-lane Route 219. The road is still waiting to be .built, but like her late father’s opinion, the prospect is very unap pealing to the Pauls. Not only is some of the original land in the designated 40 acres, but it’s cer tain the peace and quiet they’ve always taken for granted would be lost, as well.

And the bulbs that came in a birthday package went, not out side into die ground, but into pots for coaxing into late winter bloom.

Politicians, industrialists, tour ism promoters and many agricul turalists, see the expressway as a biggy blown open by the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), to neigh boring Canada.
