From'A round Home by Roy Forrester Nuts to the squirrels, It was a few weeks ago that we wrote about digging up aIl the tulip, hyacinth and daffodil bulbs at home resulting in some 700 to 800 bulbs and buibletes. It was with the thought that next year and the following years we could have a great array of colour in the spring especially when the bulbletes began to produce flowers., Going by the book we separated the bulbs and left them out in the outdoors to dry for two or tbree days. The pro blemi was the weather- man just neyer co-operated and within the tîme limit always sprayed the bulbs with another rainfali. We were just getting nowhere. Finally the decision was made to place the bulbs in the old chicken house well out of the elements of the weatherman. Being in the chicken bouse it was 'out of sight-out of mind'. 0f course we forgot about theM until last Sunday when looking for a water paîl. When opening the door we were somewhat dismayed. "Where did ail those bulbs go?" We had some 40 tulip bulbs left and about the same number of hyacinth bulbs.* -We had been cleaned out, or almost". So much for that profu- sion of spring flowers at the For- resters in the coming years. It just has to be the squirrels who Sid Rutherford states just enjoy profoundly tulip bulbs for winter meals. ,We certainly- have a lot of red squirrels in the pine plantation at Memorial 1(Continued from page 1) ween ýthe hospitals in the region.

Tbey do scurry in and out of the chicken bouse. To say the ieast we are somewhat disappoinited but then that is the way tbings go sometime or almost ail of the time. Bunting and I had an interesting bird outing recently in an area in soutb Hope Townsbip. We had not been in the area for a number of years but it bas always, wben we do visit, provide good sightings of the Red Head Woodpecker. It is a beautiful bird when percb- ed as well as when if tligbt witb big white wing patches and its solid rcd head. Other than tbe Red Head sigbting the area is interesting with hundreds of acres of nursery stock being grown by Sheridan Nurseries, Brookdale Limited Inc. and others. It is eitber tbe third or fourth line of Hope just west of the Osaca- Road. Tbe Red beads can generally be found in tbe open cut made by the hydro transmission fine from Wesleyville. The nursery planta- tions are spread out over a wide area and it is easy to see the care that is taken in these operations. We added to this a visit into the Kendal Recreation Area where a Green Heron bas been a constant observant at one of the two ponds. Generaily in the evening. The Red Head is more apt to be seen in the early morning. Going for a Sunday drive the area could prove interesting. Life" bas been plac ed in the main lobby and arrangements are being made to have leaves, apples and~ rocks suitabiy engraved according to the wishes of the donors. R. E.
