We've seen her at work, this winter an' she sure gave us th' bus'ness, what wi' th' tons, 'n tons o' th' beautiful white stuff coverin' th' landscape. Guess we've had enough o' it, though, f'r this year. Many a back has been strained wi' th' shovelin' o' it. Last year, we was a cryin' f'r the snow, wi' th' thermometer far b'low th' zero mark, an' out west they prayed f'r rain, so that lady gave us, all a great abundance o' what makes f'r good crops, an' green things a growin', an' now folks 're prayin' f'r it t' let up, f'r a spell. So, now, wi' th' ground ab- sorbin' a lot 0' th' moisture, maybe we c'n be thankful t' be able t' look for'ard t' a good season ahead. We don't take time t' realize all th' wonderful benefits we have these days. This ol' lady r'members days b'fore there was lettuce, cucumbers, an' lots o' good garden bounties in th' dead 0' winter. We elders recall th' time when oranges were a delicacy, an' we had 'em at Christmas time. We didn't have th' tender young carrots we find in th' stores t'day. So many goodies one can't name 'em all 're taken f'r granted, e'en unappreciated. Guess we elders keep a harp in' on th' same o' thing a good bit 0' th' time, but it's a sorry perdicament we find oursel'8 in, wi' not a heedin' th' warnin's o' years gone by, regardin' th' bounties 0' Mother Nature. Younguns grow up these days wi'out a knowin' how t' be conservative about anythin', an' all kinds o' food, that folks ne'er imagined, is available. This granny feels it might be a good thing t' exert frugality in rearin' th' younger generation, an' let 'em get accustomed wi' a lot less o' th' luxuries enjoyed by most, in this age. Past generations got along on dried beans, dried apples 'n other fruits, 'n corameal 'n hominy grits, pickled meats, an' most anythin' a body could put in cans f'r th* winter. This ol'lady c'n recall commercially canned goods long ago an' me own folks a bein' skeptical about usin' some 0' it. Folks, in this day, accept things as a matter o' fact, ne'er a takin' time t' think how it'd be wi'out all th' benefits, a usin' up ever'thin' w'out a lookin' t' another day.
