because it was 'flat and close -by. We
could be heard shouting and arguing
and cheering until dark. And it goes
without saying that we made rules to fit
the occasions as they arose. The game
was known officially as Scrub when -
played at school.
There is always plenty of spring work
on the farm but in those days it was
done the hard way, - following a -team of
horses up andslown the furrows or after
harrows or other implements. Of
course, there was no deafening noise of
tractors.- just the happy singing of the
• spring birds. And .no , choking fumes
from the machines just pure fresh air.
Springtime was gardening time too.
The small garden near the louse was
• ploughed and prepared as early as
possible and the hardy • vegetables
•
planted in 'beds'. Does anyone else
remember the beds in the garden? We
had a cold frame where we planted
tomato, cabbage, cauliflower and other
more tender things and they were• •
transplanted at the proper time. The
cold frame was really just a long box
frame with good earth in the bottom and
a couple of storm windows over the top
to trap the heat of the sun. On very
warm days the top was lifted but closed
• down while there was some heat there.
Yes, Spring was a busy time and a
happy time and a dine of release from
• the many hardships of winter. It was a
time when there were the many
beauties of nature to enjoy, and to
remember now .when so many of them
have disappeared.
