A vote of thanks was passed'
to past president, Mrs. Higgins'
for her excellent work.
"Hang up, I've got something to tell yoe,” said Carl, greatly
excited, about two weeks ago, Lucy was visiting .over the telephoue
with a friend, so she merely excused herself for a minute to listen to
the important news e- "Sandi is back! I went out the back door and
there he was sitting on the porch. He looked up at me and said,
`mur-r-row!' but he wouldn't come into the house. He is sleek and
well fed."
So Lucy explained to the lady with whom she was talking that
Sandi the cat was back after en absence of five months. Lucy would
feel better had he come back for the anti-rabies clinic.
Carl had nothing to feed the wandering boy, as he calls him,
except a few scraps of fat which he had cut off roast beef. Sendi
accepted them and then Carl gave him some milk — it has to be
Warmed with a dab of butter in it, Sometimes he wont take any, but
he licked it up.
Now last spring when he left, Sandi had grown to like tinned eat
food. So the next time Carl went to the store, he purchased some,
but Sandi has apparently been killing his own and likes it fresh. He
turned his nose up at the canned food and took more milk. And
then he ventured into the kitchen and looked under the table where
Carl used to put meat scraps on a plate.
Lucy thought perhaps Sandi had some inner warning of a hard
winter ahead and had come back to the barn. But he has never
entered it since his return. One day Carl watched him. He went over
the post opposite the kitchen window, across Bell's lawn, trotted
briskly down Bayfield Terrace and disappeared down Mara Street.
Carl says Sandi had some definite destination in view and lost no
time looking for mice on the way. So it would appear that he just
comes back to see Carl, for he is never hungry. Lucy hoped he would
make the barn his headquarters again, for when Carl brought the last
of the apples into the barn he found that mice had been nibbling at
some.
' Sunshine and milder weather have shortened the winter
considerably, Through the kindness of friends, the new
spring-flowering bulbs and lilies were deposited in warm mother
earth in October. New rose bushes were set out to replace some lost.
One, a grandiflora, "Camelot," which is a favorite, was brought from
Toronto and planted for Lucy as a Christmas gift. And a peony
being choked out by lilacs was retrieved and replanted where it has
room to breathe and Lucy can see it.
Carl has been doing a bit at a time all fall. He has 17 little fruit
trees protected for the winter against mice and rabbits. He cut off all
the peonies with long-handled clippers and transferred them to the
adjoining lot. Then all the iris and bulb beds were given a generous
coating of bone meal, to say nothing of the roses. Last week sulphur
was spread around the roses and Carl supervised them being hilted up
for winter.
The lilac hedge which was encroaching on little fruit trees was
trimmed back and the brush on the east fence cut off. It is going to
be one huge boifire someday when there is snow on the ground and
little or no wind from the north. The eavetroughs were cleaned out
and little trees transplanted.
Of course there are those walnut trees which have been springing
up around the house, but "Mr." has decided to leave them until
spring as there are bulbs to be considered where they grow. He
preened the grapevines also and the only preparation left undone
this year was erecting the snow fence. It is apt to damage the
daffodils and roses unless it is taken down very early in the spring
and Carl feels that the west hedge will suffice in its place, Let's hope
that we don't have to be dug out from under this winter.
It gives one such a warm, comfortable feeling to know that the
fall work is done. It will soon be Christmas and already Lucy is
looking forward to Carl bringing her the first snowdrop next year.
