But alas, conte Monday ,horning a storm blew In from the east — wet, driving snow — so, no mechanic. Then, while Partner was still at the barn that morning a truck came in and dumped a load Of gravel in the driveway, just where 1 back the car out. True, the gravel had been or- dered but we didn't specify deli- very on a stormy day? Because of the sudden storm Partner had extra work to do at the barn -heifers to put in that had been running out, and a dozen other little "weather" chores so he did not have time to spread the gravel immediately.

Some farm'l's eliclta't even have a lantern to fall back on and used flashlights or else turned thole car lights on to the stable. But why every farmer doesn't keep lamps and lanterns handy 'll never know. Tuesday was cold and bright -- and our pile of gravel was frozen solid. Wednesday it be- gan to blow and at night the temperature dropped to ten be- low zero. Thursday it was still snowing and biowhlg, with no relief in sight. Partner put on more clothes and more elotltes, The lane was Meng in fast and each morning we wondered if the truck would get In for the milk. Somehow or other, each day it made the grade. My biggest worry was getting back and forth to the mail -box, for it is a long trek .from the house to the road, facing the wind and shoving through the snow.
