T hat's w hat greets v isitors to 468 West Street, the residence o f Ray and Nona Grace, Heppner's Yard o f the Month for June. A succession o f more than 35 rose bushes line the front o f this property, which then culminates in a garden o f roses beside the driveway. This array or color is enhanced by a solitary deep pink climbing rose, w hich spraw ls in nice contrast against the side o f the pale green house. The property was inherited by Nona from her parents Pirl and Vema Howell, w ho mov ed from Hardman to this loca tion in the late 1930s. The former house and bam are long gone, but much o f the landscaping still contains the original bushes and trees planted by Mrs. Howell. Nona is surrounded by fond memories as she and Ray tend their garden. More than half o f the rose bushes w ere planted by her mother over 50 years ago, as well as the purple iris and geranium w hich has grown to sev eral feet in circumference. The Graces hav e added daffodils, lupine, a hybrid hibiscus and petunias to the beauty o f Mrs. Howell's flowers. Recently Ray has removed some hedge bushes and forsythia which had mixed uncontrollably, and is now planting red and yellow old-fashioned roses in their stead. Trees from the past as well as ones more recently planted add shade and stateliness to the yard. At the front o f the house stand a fir. a maple and a flowering crab, the latter a gift from N ona’s daughter. At the back o f the property Ponderosa Pine, Ash, Fir, and Blue Spruce rise majestically as a backdrop for a v ariety o f fruit-bearing trees. These include Bing cherry, pie cherry, Jonathan. Transparent, and Red and Yellow Delicious apple trees. These in turn prov ide the Graces, and the hungry deer, w ith plenty o f sweet and healthy eating. A Golden Deli cious dw arf tree produces the “sweetest fruit," as it was a golden wedding anniv ersary gift to N ona's parents. Besides the pesky deer, robins, blackbirds and starlings com e in to feed. I .ast year the birds claimed the entire crop o f Concord grapes before Ray and Nona could put up juice. It is not uncommon, however, for the v ines to produce up to 50 quarts o f juice. Phis land, covered w ith grass kept green and closely mowed, dotted w ith heirloom bashes and trees and thoughtfully harmonizing new additions, are the focal points that award Ray and Nona ( ¡race Heppner's Yard o f the Month. 1 9-inch baked pie shell (recipe follows) 4 cups whole strawberries, washed and halved (She slices her straw berries if they are large) 2-1/2 Tablespoons com starch 3/4 cup sugar 1 cup cold water 1 3 oz. package strawberry Je ll-0 M ix com starch, sugar and water, cook until clear and thick.
