From our kitchen to yours By T.A. ghost writer Heavenly Devine Along the line of smokey hills The crimson forest stands, And all day long the blue jay cal Is Throughout the autumn lands... This is the first verse of a poem that 1 know I learned in public school, but, my apologies to the author, whoever he/she may be if it is not exactly right- (It was a long time ago). My children hate it when I break into rhyme, but there are poems and songs that you remember and seem appropriate at certain times, and this snippet happens to be one of them. 1 love the fall. The colours, smells, sights and sounds of autumn are wonderful. (The only problem that I can actually see with this time of year is that winter is coming closer!) The reds, oranges, yellows and browns of the woods you are passing can -be breathtaking. The smokey smell of the burning leaves or the rustle of them underfoot as you walk down a country road makes me think of the good times when 1 was younger. Can you remember building a leaf house, or jumping in the biggest Leaf pile? Can you taste the potatoes baked in the smouldering leaf piles when your parents said that those piles just couldn't stay around any longer? Can you see the large V's of ducks and geese head- ing south'? At this time of year too you often hear the words Indian Summer. This is a name which can be applied any period of fair, mild days in October or November. These usually come after the first blast of wint- ery weather, but don't come every day. The North American Indians enjoyed the time as a special gift from the gods. There is no certainty as to where the term Indian Summer came from. One story is that the period of nice weather gave the. war- like Indians a chance of attack settlements longer. Another is that is was simply named after the natives. .Lady Simcoc, wife of the lieuten- ant governor of Upper Canada, John Graves Simcoc, wrote of Indian Summer in her diaries in 1796. There .are other names tor this weather period all over the world. Some Europeans call it Old Wive's Summer, in England it is some- times called SL Matrin's summer and in Poland it can simply he called God's Gift to Poland. Whatever the name it is certainly a gift to be appreciated and en- joyed: one very pleasant fall happemnf. Rather. than baking potatoes in the ashes of a fire. I have found an oven baking method that is a little more difficult, but just as tasty. Baked Potatoes - Scrub and nnse as many potatoes as you wish to prepare. - Cut potatoes in to thin slices, but don't cut all the way through. I have tound that laying the handle of wooden spoons along each side of the potato helps prevent the knife from going all the way through. - Brush slices with melted butter and sprinkle with a mixture of your favourite herbs. I have used chives, parsley. basil. thyme and sage. You can use your own Imagination. - Bake until almost done, sprinkle with grated cheddar and parmesan cheese, return to oven for about 15 minutes to melt the cheese, lightly brown and finish cooking the potatoes. The annual turkey dinner sponsored by the Crediton Hall Board was a huge success Wednes- day night. Shown working in the kitchen from the left are Andy McIntyre, Mary Kenney and Ted Wales. Hurondale WI HENSALL - Eighteen ladies gathered at Alma Etherington's home for their September meeting. Mary Rowcliffe's group was in charge of the program. John Mar- shall, P.R. Officer of OPP Gode- rich discussed how to make homes safe. An excellent video was shown on ways to protect ourselves when walking Janette MacDonald of Usbome Central School told of her school project completed this past year on Hurondalc. She did a lot of re- search and showed her excellent booklet. Mabel Stanlake gave a very timely motto. President Helen Webber presided for the business and 5100.00 was donated to South Huron hospital from money raised from Usbome WI's quilt draw. A donation of 525 was made to the tag day project.
