---------------------------------------
THIS IS MULBERRY and Surinam cherry season, and while the crop on some of the trees is not so heavy there are plenty for all comers, so help yourself.
Since my last writing, another little stranger has arrived at the barn, and if this keeps up we will soon have the barn full and running over. And talk about mischief, those goats, both young and old, top everything I have ever encountered. If their caretaker tries to keep them out of the barn during his absence, he comes back and finds them all comfortably ensconced in the barn, some of the little ones up on the table or benches, and in general making themselves completely at home and happy. If he tries to keep them in, he finds them out, and so there is never a dull moment in that neighborhood.
Brother Theodore and helper have just finished building a chicken house which makes quite a creditable appearance considering the fact that it was constructed entirely of old lumber—excepting the composition roofing. He is now impatiently awaiting the arrival of baby chicks which were ordered some two weeks back. What with increased business in baby chicks and transportation being what it is in these hectic times we shall be on the anxious seat until they arrive. Then, no doubt, we shall spend the first few nights right there with them just to see that all goes well.
Despite the dry season the phlox scattered about in the different yards are doing their best to brighten up the landscape. They seed themselves from year to year and practically take care of themselves, but if given a little extra attention they respond with all they have.
Several small gardens in the community have contributed greens, carrots and a few green beans from time to time during the past several months, thus helping out with the problem of ration points on canned goods. Brother Conrad Schlender and Sister Alwina are mainly responsible for this welcome addition to our menu.
Sister Adah Price visited with friends at Fort Myers Beach from March 26 to 29.
Robert and Lloyd Graham arrived on the 27th to visit relatives and friends at the Unity. Lloyd returned to Miami the following day; Robert remained over until Monday the 29th.
Sister Emily Bessemer left for Miami on the 30th to visit with her son's family.
Mr. and Mrs. Victor Phillips of Stuart, Florida, came to spend Sunday, April 4, with relatives and friends at the Unity. The Phillips, until recently, operated a seed and feed store in Miami, but as it became increasingly difficult to keep stocked with the commodities most needed and wanted by the public, they very wisely sold out and hied themselves back to the soil. They have purchased a tract of land near Stuart, Florida, and have already built themselves a house and are now breaking ground for farming operations.
Sisters Emma Norton and Etta Silverfriend took dinner with Mrs. Lillian Rugg on Sunday, April 4.
A. H. Andrews and Arthur Moore have made several trips, recently, to Miami in the truck, for barrels and tubs to be used in the nursery department.
On Sunday the llth Sisters Jennie Campbell, Charlotte Montenegro and Brother Arthur Moore took dinner with Mrs. Lillian Rugg.
One day recently I had occasion to visit the old chicken yard and came upon a foot path winding through the weeds and grasses. Upon investigation found it took me right through a lovely little grove of cajeput trees which immediately suggested a picnic. Think we shall avail ourselves of the opportunity some day soon.
Brother Arthur Moore, Sister Charlotte Montenegro and a friend motored to Miami, in the truck on Friday the 16th, and brought back another load of barrels to be made into tubs for nursery stock.
Mrs. Pulcifer and daughter Mrs. Andrews of Fort Myers Beach stopped off for a short visit with Sister Adah Price on the 24th on their way home from a trip to Bonita Springs.
For some reason this is a very peculiar season for the fruit trees. All of the Surinam cherries lost their first bloom during the cold snap in February, but most of them quickly recovered and put out a second bloom which has now matured into the ripened product, but still others are just now blooming, so we shall probably have cherries all summer. The orange bloom, too, was very late due to the dry weather. Some of the tangerines are just now in bloom, which will make them quite late in maturing. However, everything else seems to be different and more confusing this year than formerly so why not the weather and consequent delayed season for fruit?
A. H. Andrews went to Miami Thursday the 22nd, returning on the 26th.
