Heppner Garden Club announces
August Yard of the Month winners
Tucked away on a
cul-de-sac at 464 W. Mor
gan, the home o f Bernice
and Randy Lott is surround
ed by landscaping exuding
an atmosphere o f serenety.
Their eye for beauty, gar
dening skills and hard work
have earned the Lotts Au
gust Yard of Month.
Bernice and Randy
met in Walla W alla, she
having moved out west with
her fam ily from K ansas
during the dust bowl days,
he a farm boy from Hatties
burg, MS stationed at the
Air Base. Married in 1946,
they made their way across
the C )regon/Washington bor
der to Heppner, purchasing
property and building their
house in 1951.
Their shaded front
lawn greets the visitor with
a riot o f color. This is pro
vided by the many impatiens
growing in the brick raised
bed garden located beneath
the picture w indow of their
pastel yellow' house. Trees
providing the shade include
cherry, Ponderosa Pine, and
fir. Between the impatiens
and this border o f trees,
potted petunias sporting
patriotic colors highlight
the American flag they so
proudly fly.
Fruit-bearing trees
grow in the side yard. The
Jonathon apple tree provides
good eating apples, while
the G ranny Sm ith apple
tree provides good fruit for
sauce. Both make great pies,
and produce well due to
Randy’s insistence on spray
ing them each year. To these
was added a sem i-dw arf
Montmorancy cherry tree.
Only in its second season,
luscious fruit is yet to be
harvested.
A lo n g th e b a c k
o f this house is a flower

snap dragons, red roses,
and a Philadelphia Peace
Rose given to the Lotts in
memory o f their son, Don.
The crowning glory o f the
back yard is a rectangular
garden now colorful with
zinnias and marigolds, Irish
potatoes, zucchini squash,
carrots, corn, asparagus,
turnips, and prom ises o f
ju ic y red tom atoes. The
corn seed planted this year
is from Randy’s family farm
in Mississippi. By switch
ing to this strain Randy is
hoping to avoid the serious
smut problem h e’s had in
recent years.
The back o f th is
property is on one o f Hep

How and when do you
break the news to the children
that you are going to move?
Let the youngsters know
about the move as early as
possible. The first reaction of
some young children involve
fear of the unknown. Teenag
ers, on the other hand, may
worry about leaving friends
and envisioning their social
life going down the drain.

ing things for themselves will
help overcome that fear of the
unknown.
Remember, children are
generally more adaptable than
parents often give them credit
for. Many experts recommend
moving during the school year
to help children get acquainted
with new schoolmates faster,
rather than moving during
vacation and waiting months
until school starts again. Few
things beat the bus for making
new friends.
