We country folks. who put up with
the hard severe winter weather with
now and then Il pleasant time or
sleigh ride. then we enjoy in 4 large
measure the maple sugar time. Then
spring with all the work of getting
the ground ready for The planting and
the many fences to repair. and the
of watching the grain
grow, the trees leave out and the
glorious sunshine days of June, and
your garden, be it large or small, and
every promise of a bountiful crop Of
things you enjoy eating, and the time
of the month gets to the 2Sth, and Il
is cold and you wish for an overcoat
on and the thermometer goes down
to 40 or there about and you cover
up your precious garden or what you
can of it; you burn an oil heater all
night in your potato patcn and you
get up early and build small bon fires
nearby to keep away Jack Frost, or
take the water pot and sprinkle to
kill old Jacks work. The sun comes
up and a nice June day dawns and
YOU feel so thankful that the old
fellow did not do much hurt md YOU
will go to church on Sunday morning
with glorious feeling you have with
| in. Would you after all this change
this life for the one to come until you
hidden? Not any. We choose to hang
on for while longer and feel thank
full for all of the trials and blessings
that come.
