hope never hurt anyone yet the rainsoaked earth probably has that feeling too and its way of showing its gladness is by help ing the flowers to bloom in joyous abandon yesterday we wandered part way through a bush where we found mayflowers hepaticas blood roots early trilliums and a few species of wild flowers we did njt recognize the purpose of our visit to the woods was really to settle an ar gument arthur insisted that may- flowers and hepaticas were one and the same flower daughter said they were not and 1 wasn t sure so we all piled into the car in eluding partner a visitor and even honey and we headed for the nearest bush on high ground no swampy bushes after that rain there the argument was settled bv finding both mayflowers and hepa tlcas exactlj fitting the description we had

some thing that one person doesn t want that another person can use one needs change with the passin years back in the days when everv farmer s w ife had to think of thresh ing and corn cutting meals it via necessarv to keep a good supply of dishes on hand now in many dis tricts threshing gangs are a thing of the past a combine eats onh gs and oil so unless they ar given away surplus dishes are stacked up doing nothing better than gathering dust yes it is easy to find new homes for old things in limited numbers but not on a wholesale scale and so it is that when a person has passed away we often come across that saddest of all domestic problems what to do with the un i wanted furnishings of a home perhaps the late owner was a widow or a widower living alone the children are married and havel homes of their own they have no room for additional furniture few modern homes have an attic some dont even have a basement there i is onlv one solution to the problem an auction sale and all the dear inlirrrate things that have been treasured through the years must go to the highest bidder if onlv more people would enjoy their possessions in their own lifetime instead of putting them away in mothballs think of the silver i crystal and beautiful quilts that are carefullr put away in case they might get broken or spoilt last week i got word that my one remaining brother had passed away
