Notebook
Many of our Mends and relatives eat at
restaurants quite often. We sit at our kitchen
tablq day after day. However, the other week
we had a wedding anniversary and so we did
eat lunch away from home. My usual order is
seafood as at home we have beef, pork or
chicken. We also attended a banquet in Lan
caster the same week. What a treat to have
someone wait on me for a change.
Sometimes in the fall. I’ve put cherry toma
to plants in pots in the house. But, even though
they bloomed, they did not bear. So, this year I
didn’t bother with them. However, some
seeds came up in the flower pots and I remem
bered what a reader of Lancaster Farming told
me years ago. He said, “You must brush the
blossoms with a bunny tail.” I did that and
now I’m waiting for the green tomatoes to
ripen.
The tree trimmers for the electric power
company have visited our farm recently and
trimmed many trees as the 19 summer cot
tages along the Conestoga River all have

electricity and they are built in the woods.
Even some of our big walnut and chary trees
have fallen to their chain saws. Because it
takes so long for a tree to grow, I hate to see
them destroyed.
Years ago I was provoked at my father as he
cut down a big row of trees. You see these
trees had bittersweet vines growing on them.
In the fall he sold bunches of bittersweet on
the Northern Market in Lancaster. That is, he
did, if people didn’t come and steal all of
them. One day he decided that he had had
enough trouble and he destroyed everything.
If he could not have the berries, then no one
else would eitha.
We had a very large sweetgum tree in the
middle of a field and when we started to farm
here, my husband decided that it spoiled too
many crops and so he cut it down. A big oak
was a landmark on my parents farm but now it
too has gone the way of old trees. Even a large
Mack cherry tree that my sister climbed was
rotted away. Nothing lasts forever.
