Notebook
Ida Risser
Even the winter seems to be
passing by quickly. I’ve looked
through the brightly colored
seed catalog but I have not
placed an order. This year two
of our children gave me gift cer
tificates, so I can really place a
big order. The problem is to take
the time to sit and do it.
So far my list includes mostly
flowers. You see, I save many
vegetable seeds from my own
plants. I'll admit that some
ornamental gourds and some
squash have crossed over the
years in which case I never
know what to expect from the
seeds. But, that is part of the
fun in having a garden. One
year I have a bumper crop of
cucumbers and the next one
practically none. One year we
have lots of peanuts and the
next one I must save the nuts for
seed.

Lately I've been meeting a
grandchild at his bus each
evening as he has a corn-grow
ing project in our basement
under lights. He is so very exu
berant as he hops off the bus
and runs to meet me. He and
his siblings run and jump and
play in our house and even move
big rugs out of place.
One thing that they enjoy
doing with me is cleaning the
goldfish bowl. But, I must
watch them closely as I’ve
caught them holding the fish out
of the water, upside down, by its
tail. We four often sit on the
floor and play with a soft ball on
the kitchen floor.
The other evening they
enjoyed a box of "Krazy Ikes"
and we all made odd little fig
ures. The same books that I
read to my children decades ago
are now read to the grandchil
dren.
