BALM

Posted by Sid on
I went to the farm yesterday. Everything was quiet. The chickens were in back of the chicken house resting and the little ones were inside the woodshed. There was no activity at all around the bridge site. Mr. Ferrin (I think that is his name) is going to make firewood out of the balm tree and Douglas-fir that was pulled out of the swimming hole, and said as soon as it rains, he is very fire aware, that he will cut down the five dead standing trees by the field.



Today I went to the Polaris dealer (Smuckers) and looked at the Ranger and drove it around a little bit. It seems pretty stable. It is fun talking things over with a polite salesman--they want to make a sale so put on their best manners. I appreciate it.



The little blue house I looked at for Nina comes with a finished one story house on the same lot. The little blue one is sort of run down so I thought it might be real cheap by Corvallis standards. The two together sell for $450.000. I am going to have the real estate agent take me through. It is so much fun, and sales people are soooo polite.



Isn't it fantastic to have a balm tree on our property? I think it is the same as the Balm of Gilliad. Maybe I'll make up a poem about it----once upon a time there was a lamb that liked to rest beneath the balm......

Love, B o p c h a
