Rambling With Lucy
(LUCY R. WOODS)
There’ve beein changes at “The Hut”! The big willow
trfee With tlie fat Catkins came a cropper to' a chain saw one
night last week.
Lucy did hate to sed go, but looking over, the scene oil
Sunday, she didn’t miss it as much as she’d imagined. Probably
the birds will ri>iss it rhore. Its branched had spread over too
many drihdr trees,
it’s difficult to Judge distances when planting small trees.
On# forgets to iohk forward to the growth pf twenty years.
.Th# /tops of height h^drliig fruit .trees vrnifch uie. riabbits had
gWdlbdL. Mad to ibe( cut badk to a stump’ 16” high last week.
That, hurt ffloito than idsirig the willow tree.
- Then "tyiri.” erodted a pole with, an arm on which to hang
the suet feeder. Lucy Wouldn't seel it from her chair at the
dining iWrri table, se if Was transplanted aerdsfe the drivesway
tri full view. Sandi the cat wla& a great help with thd digging,
arid getting dbwn into the hole to measure the depth.
The bird's seem to like its ne^V location — instead.- of
hanging from a branch ■ of the willow*. Already Lucy hais
spotted Downie and Hairy woodpeckers, red and! white breialst-
ed Nuthatohes, a Brown Creeper, to say nothing ’of chickadees
and sparrows! And by the way, a pair of Chickadees perched
ih the cedars within, three feet of Carl and scolded him royally
tor the loss of the willow, the day after if was taken away.
tlespiie the drop in temperature to the ’teens last week,
fne waim’daySmbrtweehhdive brought the flowers on quickly.
The early daftodils are^almost over; the early tulips were out;

to leave a banquet of daffodils from.a spot which was once
toe garden surrounding her gp^dfather’s home ‘‘Stanley
Villa”. Dr. Miiiari M. Woods, ■ piqiieer physician, farhier arid
ardent iidhticultoralist, laid out that gtavden over a hundred!
years ago. . ; .
The flowers brought childhood memories back to Lucy —
happy care free days when with her sister Jean they were
privileged to visit her father’s cousin, Wm. H. Woods. And his ,
mpiie@. tod; Rhbyi Niari &hd Isabel, played and picked flowers
