Rambling With Lucy (LUCY R. WOODS) Spring.must be-“just around’ttlb corner,” but despite twc mild days last week, its ’a wintry blast which blows in the door when “Mr.” walks out into the sunshine and forgets to close the door. Nevertheless, there are signs. Lucy’s spouse picked eight snow drops at the back door on March 7. There they were, re- 1 posing in . an egg cup on the table tq delight Lucy when she was brought out for lunch. And 'they grew twice their length in water before she accidentally upset them in spreading out the newspaper. Carl was obliged to remove the wet centrepiece and mop tip the water. What a mess a small egg cup full of water can make! The crocuses are showing against the south wall. It re­ mains to be seen whether repellent or the she-cat will keep the'rabbits off. ■ Lucy has been watching a pair of cardinals at. the feeding station. The female has hung around all winter. She'd sit out there on the wind vane looking quite dejected. She wasn’t hungry, for more than once' Carl put out sun flower seeds when he’d see -her. She wouldn’t eat. One day, Carl remarked: “I don’t know why that lady cardinal sits out-there. The male only chases her when he comes.” “That's it!” said, Lucy, “She is waiting for him to chase her.” Thus dries she attract attention to herself — the same as a maid with a man! Lately, things havg been a bit different.. He actually allow­ ed her to sit in the port hole one day! No longer does she look dejected. She is in fact very perky and flirty, twisting her head from side to slide, even if she does .assume a humble attitude and pick up the bits which fall while her lord and master-to-be feeds in the station. And the sparrows, juncos, etc., join her below the feeder — the snow has gone down two feet under it in the, past week. Merton Merner reports that about 14 cardinals feed at their place and one day there were 17. Against the white snow they would make such a' beautiful coloured picture! Trouble is, though, that they feed just before dusk. Other years, there have been as many as six or seven cardinals wait for “Mr.” to put out sunflower seed but this year we only seem to have one pair regularly at “The Hut”' feeding station. Another pair came once or twice when it was very cold and stormy. Lucy wonders if it is a flock of starlings which keeps them away. One of those old birds used to sit on the wind vane and keep 'the other birds- out. Sitting huddled, up there in the cold weather, he reminded Lucy of a black pirate. They are still about and clean up suet and other food in a hurry. But they keep a wary eye on the house and if they even see “Mr." looking out, they take off' over the barn roof. While a good deal of the snow has gone the- bare ground is only showing on the driveways. And flocks of snow buntings or. snow birds- indicate we may have more of that white pre­ cipitation. ' The black squirrels are hungry for spring. “Mr." spied a pair up in Willocks' Elm tree helping themselves to the buds — a tasty salad no doubt. So buds are beginning to swell. The talk at “The Hut" has centred around potatoes and certified seed, and getting it into the ground here as soon as the ground can be worked. Lucy remembers one year when Paul Cleave and James H. Reid planted their gardens on March 17. Two years ago; Mi's. Nelson Heard and her son Lloyd planted potatoes on 'Marclr 18. It doesn’t look as if Sit. Patrick’s Day in this our Centennial year will be celebrated by planting “spuds”.. The yellow she-cat which resides in the barn at “The Hut” has acquired the name of “Sandi”. In naming her, “Mr.' 'took into consideration- another yellow cat which visits here occa­ sionally and is a more vivid colour. Saudi has developed a great affection for “Mr.” He can hardly move in the barn for her rubbing around h’is legs. And * Sil's purrs away and answers him when he talks to her; “She’s been a pet and is lonely,” he told Lucy. Apparently though, she prefers the men, for when a caller left the house one day last week, Saudi took one look at the lady and dashed' to .the barn. She has been feasting on rabbit, too, for “Mr.” saw-where • she’d dragged one over the sand floor in the shed into her hideout. Sand! does not appear to be hungry but sihe has a trait which neither Lucy nor Carl like — she is a bird watcher! . One day Lucy spied her up on the rose arbour, sitting very still. Ah, well, one cannot have every virtue in one cat! We’ll just have to argue the point with her a bit for the birds’ sake. To The Hunt. Men These boys with their Scout leaders are seen leaving for a hunter training safety instruction les­ ion last Saturday afternoon. From the left, S/M Percy Renner, Jim Francis, Scouts Brad Turner, Brian Beck, Brian Koene, Brian. Merrill, Robert Mac- Vean. In the back row on the wagon are Scouts Randy McClinchey and Mike Beck. We trust that the Red Cross kit was not useful on the trip except fox’ precautionary measures. Stanley UCW Sees Antiques The March meeting .of the' Stanley.
