Food begins to fascinate them at a surprisingly early age. Even a two-year-old wants to pour the milk on his cereal and spread his own bread For a three-year-old adding milk to a can of soup and stirring until ready for mother to put in on the range is a big thrill. Older children love to help mother measure and mix long before they can read a recipe.

During each workday you deal with customers, clients and co workers. You do your best to be polite and attentive to all of them. By the time you come home to the most important person in your life, how ever, you may have neither the energy nor the patience to be polite and attentive. So sometimes you dispense with tact and other niceties, telling yourself, "At least at home I can be myself." Why is it, though, that be ing oneself almost never implies being one's best?

Be sure to water your garden Hot August and September weather increases the water needs of garden and landscape plants, espe cially ornamental plants in their first year of growth. When water isn'treadily available to ornamental or vegetable plants in hot days, the plants can become heat stressed and may show signs of will ing. In the garden, this can cause inferior quality in harvested garden vegetables. Pay particular attention to raised beds in the garden. They dry out quickly and should be watered fre quently. In the landscape, heat stress can weaken plants or in some cases cause effects that won't be noticed until later. Forexample, camellias that aren't watered adequately during hot spells will lose their flower buds prema turely the following spring. The buds simply drop off the plant. In blueberry plants, lack of water in late summer will cause a lack of bud development in the spring, which in effect means no blueberry production from the plant for that season. Ornamentals in their first year or growth are especially vulnerable to lack of water in the late summer Houseplants require less water during the winter. Let the potting soil dry slightly before watering with most plants. After watering, the soil should be moist, not saturated. Let any ex cess water drain out the bottom of the planting pot Do not leave drain wa ter standing in the dish or other con-' tainer the pot sits in. O ' - t0 good use aiso aunng winter monins, me layer is too deep, go to the next step. Compost the leaves in bins or piles through the winter and use the finished decomposed product in the garden or flower beds as soil amendments or mulches. A layer of leaves applied to the surface of a flower or shrub bed is a perfect winter cover. The mulch helps prevent erosion andraincompaction.andcontrolssome of the winter annual weeds.

It's important to select firm, ripe tomatoes free from bruises and decay. Acidity decreases during ripening, so avoid overripe tomatoes.

And avoid leav ing water standing on the soil surface. Keep lunch cold for safety's sake k To keep lunches safe and cold, include a cold or frozen item in lunch bags.

Let houseplants go without fertilizer from late November to early April. Remove seed pods, wilted flowers, and leaves from the plants and prune back long, straggle stems to within one-eighth inch of a leaf joint. Keep houseplants free of dust and pick off any insects that may be hid ing on foliage or stems.
