How was YQUR week? Was it fun, ag-
gravating, exhilarating.ar just plain iffy?
Mine was Frustrating - fqr three days. I
couldn't find a painting I had been working
on t o nights earlier. I had just put it out of
the way as I didn't want anyone to see it at
the awkward stage. I have to have it finish-
ed pretty soon but where did I put it?
For two whole shays I kept searching -
even looked in our overstuffed garage - it
wasn't there.
This morning I sif down to write this col--
umn, four days later, in my nice old rocking
chair which had been moved to the little
room at the front of the house (when my kids
read this they won't believe I could .get a
chair of ANY shape into THAT roorrp�)!
Anyway, I'm trying to get my jumbled
thoughts together when my eyes move up
the wall to the five foot level and I'm staring
into my unfinished painting!
I just KNEW it would turn up. I'm sure it
hasn'f been there all week because I moved
practically everything in the room looking
around - and DOWN! DOWN'N AROUND! !
So here I go again. The cool wind Sunday
and the sharp starry sky made me think of
frost and brittle air and runny noses and. a
lot of such stuff. When fall comes, we are so
busy looking at warm clothing, boots -
where are those boots - and what can' you
wear on your head?
Where has the summer gone? I know it
was just beautiful - warm 'n sunny. I en-
joyed it, but what of these cold breezes we
are getting - are they trying- to- tell us
something? They are certainly making me
think of a lot of unfinished things.
The story - poern James Whitcomb Riley
wrote so many yearsago - one we are too
busy to read when October comes - one we
all know but a few words or lines escape us
should be brought to us NOW - and here's the
first two verses. •
"When the frost is on the punkin' and the
fodder's in the shock -
(Can't you just -see those little teepees of
corn all over the field) ?
And you hear the kyouck and gobble of the
.struttin' turkey cock,
And the clackin' of the ,guineys, and the
cluckin' of the hens
And the rooster's hallyiooyer as he tiptoes
on the fence;
Oh it's then's the time a feller is a -feeling
at his best with the risin' sun to greet him
from night of peaceful rest,
As he leave, the house., bareheaded, and
goes out to feed the Stock.
When the frost is on the. Dunkin' and the
fodder's in the shock.
They's something kind OMar'y-like about
the, atmusfere when tile heat of sununer's
over and the coolin' fail is here - and the
mumble of the hurnrnln' ui'd?s and buzzing
of the bees: but the air', so appetizin' - and
the landscape thru' the haze is a pictur' that
no painter has the rOlorin' to ,,nock, - when
• the frost in on the punkin' and the fodder's in
the shock.
At the harbour the other day, the Algosoo
was getting salt but the tail end of that ship
looked like someone had taken a cleaver and
CHOP - there goes 40 or more feet of ship!ait
is nice to see c•har;ges made - especially on
hard working ship:,. There's never a (lull
moment i+lung the lakeshore. So many cars
go whizzing into the lookouts and away
again - guess they just have to make, sure
that old Lake,Iluron 1s still there.
St Christopher's Reach down below theta
is alive with activity. Swimmers and eaters,
sand pilers and rock finders vie with the col-
. or -fol wjn(lsurfirW of so many sturdy -
beautiful -Yount; adults. It was so relaxing -
yet exciting to watch them ,getting started
on those !WIN toys.
I watched one young couple - he tried to
,.;lay on the surf board grid pull up the sa11 -
and she had 0 r„')'' on the thing trying to - I
don't rerIl i , kilo what shc was trying to do!
So I left (0n down the road - sure
enough the rock- ' and chain and everything
was in order 4nd - starting bac k I could see
our surfer away out on the lake. He sure]}
tra'eller] fa:t -,but how was he going to get
!lark. The ,::I,'i t' as `(), col'! I r 'rldr't
1n flt.•1 uUe
I ,t' pe 't,r' aro really appreciative of
Lhrs foie l)Cd h now - atter so mam years of
hesitation in t etting it starter] Anyway. we
now c it and vs c say thank you for all the
harq work that had to he done before we
t.ould see what. was happening.
When we moved to town, where the beach
lies was just rocks and chbblestones - and 1t
stretched 'way out into the lake. The gulls
)ved it and my son's beautiful des had thr
thrid of chasing the gulls. lie was almost
crowned as he swam - in icy water - hack to
his master- who already had his shoes off
ready for he rescue.
At. that time the rocks had formed a little
bay on one side. it hard quite a slope to it. T
wouldn't have wanted to sec how deep it
was. There were loud, large, frogs in the hoe
on the shore but the dog had run straight out
over the cobbles and sent all the birds flvint.
then made a dash into the middle of the little
bav tri get hack to his master.
T recall it was icy cold with a vrry strong
wind. This was the young dog's first visit to
a lake and I had feared it was his 1st, but he
finally crawler] to Don's feet and just lav
Blore. So 111 never forget that little episode.
Years later there were stone crushers and
big trucks and other machinery that cleared
that little point of land, ri it out. I do have a
painting of it and those big old birches (I
think they're birches I that line the road.
Another thing - the buildings down there
look very nice. Someday it just may he our
only stretch of sandy beach - if tAey can cap-
ture enough sand
Well. 1 don't know how I got away from
what I had planned to talk about - I'll think
of it tomorrow. We had a lovely weekend
visiting friends we have loved since ow -ear-
ly day, here They had corn from a farm
near the Benmiller church that was the
tastiest, juiciest corn I've ever had. Too bad
- like the summer. corn eating has a very
short eating period.
My frustrations now seem to have been
pettyaand things now appear( like the pain-
ting - bright and sunny!
i think about all you nice people - hope
your days are always SUNNY'
• Love, Martha.
