it was only 10 degrees. Our

's far too cold for early

last of the flowers, and lay-

over the pages to hold them
in place.

FRANK W. wondered
when one should pick win-

ter pears. Most of them are»
_ picked in October, before

fall. winds begin to shake
them off the: tree. Store
them in a cool frost-free
place,-such as the garage, in

~a.covered box (in case of
rats) and bring in a few ata
“time, to ripen indoors.

“Himself” has had a. big

day to-day. First he picked

crabapples, and put them in
an enormous pot to cook,

then he set bread: Next the .

two of us put netting over
the grapes.

The’ crabapple pulp is
now. dripping into a large
bowl, the bread is cooked,
with three loaves in the
freezer, and he ended the

_day by washing three dog

blankets and: putting them
out on the line for the night.
If it rains, it rains... He

says cheerfully, “It'll just.

give them an extra rinse.”
Although the kitchen was

- pretty hectic I started a
batch of mustard pickles, .

and thankfully there was no

_blood shed. We managed to
stay clear of one another..

The pickled vegetables have
