Buddy and Linda Webb have been recent guests of their uncle and aunt, Clayton and Charlene Webb. They all enjoyed shopping in Patten, having lunch at the Brookside, and a final bit of shopping at the Amish store in Smyrna. They have since returned home to Veazie.
Recent news from family in New Hampshire tells me that there will be a wedding at the end of this month. A small family affair that may be held in Bow, at my sister’s home. The bride is her granddaughter, and plans to return to England after the wedding, where she and her future husband work.
Mrs. Gertrude Webb has been a patient at Houlton Regional Hospital recovering from a bout of pneumonia. I’m sure get-well cards would be appreciated. A former resident of Island Falls, she now makes her home in Houlton on Green Street.
Finally got all plowed out after the latest snow storm – have a great plowman who does a great job and keeps the paths open to the bird feeders and to the deer family, and also for the oilman when he comes to deliver. The birds have really been active at the feeders and the other day there were two gray squirrels hanging by their hind feet, and so they get their fill, and I noticed the red squirrel quietly waiting his turn. Was a little late the other afternoon in getting out the goodies for the deer family, so missed the parade as they come out of the woods one at a time to gather at the “so called” dinner table. As their table was empty they had gone back into the woods nearby, and came happily out again when I appeared. This time they had an extra member with them and then, later a fifth appeared. So the news must be out that there is good food available.
Held over from Jan. 16 issue.
Gail and John Kennett have returned home to Scarborough after spending several days with Sam Sewall after his return from the Christmas holidays at their home. While here, John did a bit of shoveling for Sam, as it had piled up his front doorstep.
Son Tom Hawkes is at home in Glenburn after being evaluated at EMMC in Bangor for a mild cerebral hemorrhage. He is feeling fine and all symptoms have disappeared, as of last report.
Darrell Webb, son of “Buddy” Webb has been a recent visitor of his uncle Clayton Webb and wife, Charlene. He has since returned home to Newport.
Since all this warm weather, all the snow and ice has disappeared from my front lawn and driveway. It’s easy to get my newspaper and to get out to feed the menagerie. The woodpeckers and chickadees made short work of the energy supply of peanut butter and lard mixture and the other day I noticed that the red squirrel likes it too.
I saw a black cat dashing into the barn, so I put out some dry food for him, as I think he is a stray.
Every afternoon, about 3:30 p.m., the parade of the deer family begins. First one appears, walking carefully in the track they have made, then in about one minute, another one comes out of the woods. This one is followed shortly by one more, and they slowly parade up to the area where they know I have put out their goodies. They are extremely cautious about coming to the front lawn and wait until dark to get their treat.
A friend came over the other day to ask about the mixture I make for the birds and has since made her own concoction of melted suet, peanut butter, and sunflower seeds and is going to threw in some orange peels one of these days. So far, the birds love the stuff, so she is kept busy throwing it all together.
