Saturday < March 71 was a
beautiful day in Raleigh. The
temperature was about 70 de
grees and manv of our plants are
responding to the warm'll whi h
is breaking the long period ot
dormancy.
Taking a quickie around the
eampus and Raleigh I found the
following in bloom: breath of
spring, golden hell, flowering
quince, camellia japoniea. wintet
jasmine, jonquil, star mngnol a
and a plum three here and there
The delicious (saucer) magnolia
will bo open in a few days.
While we an* enjoying these
splashes of color, our neighbors
in the upper Piedmont and moun
tains still have these happy har
bingers of spring to hurst into a
bloom a little later. What a won
dor fid State is ours and what a
wealth of plant materials are a
daptcd to our except ionalls va
ried climatic and soil conditions.
Everyone had the urge on Sat
urday. I spotted a car pulling a
U Haul trailer load of old saw
dust. A station wagon loaded
with small pines. Another with
a variety of “canned” nursery
stock. In fact, in this one. the
kiddies and tliedog were having
a hard time finding space.
Me? I had the urge, too to go
fishing. A buddy called me and.
unfortunately, my wife heard me
talking. When I was just ready
to yield, she pleadingly said:
“Now, Daddy.” I knew school
was out so I, dutifully, spent the
day fertilizing the strawberry
patch and the lawn, raking
leaves, pruning, and putting up
a new hi^d feeder.
While fertili/ir ’ one section of
the hick lawn, I swore at my
furry friends with the bushy
tail ■ and was tempted to drag
< ut my Fox Stor'lingworth-20 and
commit mur'lcr. They had liter
ally dug it up. excavating for
•. urns they had buried last fall.
I looked around me. Within a
radius of six feet from where I
torwl f counted VI hole-. Then 1
looked up in a big oak and there
wa one siretclied out on a limb

this? Nothing! I like the rascals.
And -o. at nightfall, I came in.

they go all the way.
