Rambling with tucg Where has spring gone? By Lucy R. Woods On the Easter weekend, we could hardly wait to get out storm windows off. We felt like living again when the windows and doors were open and we had Screens to keep out the flies,.1 was 90 degrees at "The Hut" (don't ask Lucy how much that is in Celsius as she hasn't followed the conversion as yet). On Sunday in the midst of the snowstorm she was asked "Would you like your storm windows on again''? It is sad that the north wind decided to blow and the snow came and froze on the fruit buds. Lucy was hoping that the snow might protect the blossom buds and those which are in bloom. but it was pointed out that no honey bee is going to gather sweet nectar. and thus pollenize the blossoms in the near freezing temperatures. For the good of the fruit farmers and the shopper's pocket books in general, Lucy hopes that this wintry blast has not been a disaster. It is mid afternoon on Monday and Lucy spied the first bird she has seen in three days. Mr. Cardinal came to the feeder looking for flower seeds and left for other spots when he found the grackles and blue jays had cleaned up all that was left before the storm. As the snow melted off the garden. Lucy spied a robin digging for a worm. He must have come out of the barn where he had shelter from the bitter wind. He didn't stay too Long. One worm was enough to satisfy him. considering the temperatures... But if more are going to miss the fruit from the trees so are the grackles. One pair has built a nest in the tall cypress a few feet from the black cherry tree and another pair have built in the cedar hedge near the red cherry tree. When Lucy last looked at it, she didn't think the blossom buds would grow. It is closeto a large forsythia which _is usually aglow in the garden, but this year only an odd floret and little branches at the bottom. which were protected in the ice storm, have blossomed. It was a disappointment in the ,winter not to be able to have branches come into bloom in water in the house. The late daffodils and early ones have come and gone in a week with our unseasonably hot weather. Let tis hope the tulips last longer although the early varieties have already faded. If only we could learn how to store the intense solar heat of Easter weekend to,,I) save our fuel bilis.
