Sometimes it is only for a few days and sometimes longer. As far as Lucy is concerned, she hopes it lasts until Christmas, Our first frost (black) on November 7 seared the annuals in the garden and then during the day there was about two inches of snow in Bayfield — not enough to completely cover the long grass on the lawn. After enjoying the sunroom for months, Lucy and Carl were forced to close the French doors and eat in the dining room again. So she is back in her usual chair at the dining room table from which she cannot see too much of the great outdoors. It was very gloomy with the heavy sky and howling winds but as a foretaste of what was to come Lucy shook off her depression by looking back on the wonderful summer and the autumn which we've had. It's a long time since ripe tomatoes and green beans have been picked in this garden on Nov. 3, The squash were all safely in the cellar, the soft water tank filled in the basement. The storm windows had been on for some time and thetird bath and garden barrel stored in the barn. Lucy worried a bit lest the snow had come to stay as she had some new bulbs to be planted. When the bulb catalogues arrived she tried to tell herself that she had 30 varieties of daffodils and narcissi in the garden and that was more then enough. For some 25 years they have multiplied. But she couldn't resist the temptation to try some new varieties, and some species of tulips. She had planned where they could be planted for there was little room left except in the vegetable garden. The fine weather when she could have pointed out the spots passed and the bulbs arrived just before the snow. Indian summer came and her fears were groundless for all the bulbs are tucked away in warm mother earth to root and develop ready to bloom next spring. And besides the new ones, a considerable number of smaller bulbs like the star of Bethlehem, snowdrops, crocuses, etc. which had been taken out where the window well was to be constructed were screened out of a heap of soil and replaced in proper position in a bed. In this heap of earth, three walnuts which the grey squirrel Clarabelle had buried were thrown out. And while the bulbs were being planted, Carl spied the squirrel sitting up on the lilac at the corner of the sunroom watching the proceedings. She is very shy when anyone else is around but when Carl is alone in the garden, she follows him around. She never eats the first peanut but runs off and buries it and comes back for more. One day she was so keen to get it when he was cracking the shell that she put up her two paws and held his hands together. Carl doesn't know whether squirrels can retract their claws or not but he felt only the soft pad of her paw. The last roses of summer are blooming in the house on Nov. 13. There may be more if the weather keeps mild. The latest Lucy ever saw a rose blooming in the garden was on December 10 about 50 or more years ago. Whether the weather is mild or not, the roses received their dose of bone meal and sprinkle of sulphur before being hilted up for the winter and all the annuals have found their way to the compost box. Many people have been busy raking and raking leaves. The west wind has blown the leaves all way from the gardens so that we haven't any for the compost box. And it is good to note that many people are cutting them up and using them for mulch on the garden or having them carted away instead of burning leaves. The smoke pollutes the atmosphere and the value of the leaf returning to the soil as fertilizer is lost. There are several chores to do yet before winter sets in, such as having the eavestroughs cleaned out where the cherry tree leaves have fallen and putting up the rabbit guards around the small fruit trees and spreading some soil on the garden. But even if storms do come in November and the temperature is down between five degrees above and five degrees below zero predicted by the country guide about Dee. 2, it will give one a cozy feeling to be warm in the house knowing that most preparations for winter have been made.

Many pioneers suffered from gum disease Early North Americans were notorious for their bad teeth and poor oral health. The first dentists had to work very hard to invent ingenious methods of repair and replacement for their patients. Even some well-known figures of history on both sides of the border were plagued by rotting teeth and bad breath. George Washington was faced with the loss of all his teeth and his dentist, John Greenwood, fitted him with a spring-controlled denture. The artificial teeth were carved in ivory. Some historians believe that Washington's look of sternness in his later portraits was due to this device. In pioneer North America, there was little available to the patient or to his dentist to treat gum diseases, compared to the knowhow and technology of today. Gum diseases which ran rampant in the "good old days" can be effectively treated today. Gum disease, more than tooth decay, is responsible for the loss of teeth in the over-thirty category. By keeping your teeth clean and visiting your dentist every six months, you stand a good chance of not getting gum diseases at all. — Canadian Dental Association.
