The family lately carfhg for our
hillside farm during our absence,
has purchased a home of its own.
This has necessitated our return
to Hillside: no new experience,
many of you know. Whenever the
man reads that the swallows have
left Capistrano, he figures like
this: "What have the swallows got
that I haven t? If they can leave,
so can I." He then does. Besides,
he just naturally likes to move
things. Look at the way he shifts
his logging equipment from one
hill to the next Lesson to women
never marry a logger; they're
what you might call moving-maniacs.
Back at Hillside, part of today
was spent in poling some late
string besns. Finding hens' teeth
Is child's play compared to find
ing bean poles. Telling Angus to
play like he was a blood hound,
he and I hunted poles. Not find,
ing any, we substituted. Some of
the substitutes were a strip of
grooved molding intended for use
in a window casing; the clothes
line prop; a radio aerial pole made
three more; a log scaling stick the
man will retrieve If he discovers it
before the vines hide its identity;
a flshlnx red; some pieces of sea
soned ash out of which my lord
had expected to make bows for
his archery project. As I look at
the assorted poles, I don't know
whether they make the patch look
rakishly debonair or in a state
of Insanity.
As I poled the beans, I pulled
lambs quarter for the two little
white pigs. It is a time-honored
custom with us, to call the cur
rent pig Susie. Two pigs pre
sented a problem in christening
which we seemed unable to meet.
So far. thrv are simply referred
to as The Susies. Their little
corkscrew tails vibrated Joyously

Moves Back to Hillside
as I fed them the fresh lambs
quarter. Clean as kittens, their
skin glows pinkly through their
white bristles. They have long
white eyelashes and mezzo-soprano
voices; mezzo when con
tented, soprano when excited.
They are the politest pigs I've
ever known, and tonight I was all
for bringing one of the infanta
into the house as a source of en
tertainment. But with only one
ancestor from Ireland, we felt we
did not rate a pig in the parlor.
Tonight my hands are rough
and stained past bleaching: my
back aches and my shoes arc fuU
of dirt; and I haven't been so
happy aince the last time my
hands were rough and my back
ached. Could it be that I simply
don't have it in me to be a lady? I
must take time off, some day, and
think it over.
