For the past week, Partner
and I have been making daily
trips -from Halfway House to
Ginger Farm, gathering up inbre
of our belongings each day, still
sorting, discerding and. burning.
Even at that, „I know we are-
keeping far more stuff than we
srould.'„ I know', too, 'that it
won't be very long before we
she'll want something or :other
that has ,been destroyed. ,It al
ways happens that way, doesn't
it?
To our sorrow the pecno!old

ways it: spreedee Cutting., it down
doesn't do e any good, ,The only
way to keep it under control
is pull. it • Up loY‘'the rObtee-eand
if there no.one around to
pull it, what then? ! ,
Every day Partner and' I have
taken the electric kettle end a
lunch along with, when we go
to the farm and then 'about four
o'clock we sit down to a'" most
incongruous afternoon tee. Tea
made in an old silver teapot,
cups without handles and our
table is a 'small homemade, af-
fair that was formerly used, first
as a stand to wash the cream
separator and later the milking
machine. We little theeight its
final purpose would be to act
as a table, for afternoon tea dur-
ing the last days of our 'occu-
pancy of the farm. Tea over, we
work until after five arid then
we head for home. But all is
not well at home -, either. e The
television has gone,. tempera-
mental. SometimeS a picture
comes on the screen :and some-
times it doesn't. My watch is
also protesting against the even
tenure of its life being disturb-
ed and so refuses, to funceion.
But our major problem has
been Rusty. We thought we
could keep him but that doesn't
seem possible. There seems to
be a dog on every lot. Dogs
that have been well trained from
puppyhood . to stay within
bounds, On the farm Rusty
stayed within bounds tob-but
his houndarS; was 'a hundred
acres. Here if we let 'him , loose
'he rules like a deer, so he is tied
up more than he should be, Our
neighbour, tells us that he howls
most of the time when we are
away at the farm, Under such
,cenditions to keep Rusty would
be a pleasure neither to us nor
to, him. And so this afternoon
we are taking 'Rusty to a nee,
home--a very lovely home
-where he Will have not one but
