No longer do I doubt the story
ui Cinderella's transformation
from ragged squalor to radiant
lovliness. For I have but lately
wltnesed an equally astounding
transformation.
As has been the case with so
many small farms the last few
years, ours has been increasing
ly neglected. Ground previously
cultivated has been taken over
by weeds and berry vines. The
orchard has remained unpruned
and buildings have disintegrat
ed. I have agonized over this pro
gressive decay but have been
unable to better matters.
Yet this mornine. Hillside
"walks in beauty," for it snowed
during the niaht. The too-twiggy
trees could not flaunt such lacey
flounces were they not too twig
gy. Snow-laden berryvlnes scarf
the fences in a prodigality of
lovliness.
Sweeolne the eround under
the walnut tree free of gnow.j
ground suet and cereals wcrej
spread for the birds. They came
to the feast on fluttering, eager
wings; orange and brown Alaska j
robins; black headed Juncos; bril-:
liantly vested towhees; scarlet;
helmeted woodpeckers; f o u r
kinds of sparrows; flickers,1
flashing their flame-lined wings; '
bright breasted robins; goldy-J
green kinglets; demure- hermit
thrushes; chickadees; Oh, the
glad news spread quickly, I tell
you. I
So is our Cinderella bedecked
with jewels. And it was but a
part of the magic that the jewels
were possessed of life and move
ment. Back of the orchard Is the
forest, fir tops fingering a leaden
sky. That slightly burnished
spot Is the sun, trying to estab
lish a beach head for an invasion
of this other-world realm. Given
time, it will. And when it does,
then the hour will have struck.
The enchanted moment will have
come to an end. Hillside will
be thrust back into its former
ragged neglect.
Bui for the now, there Is this
magie the snow has wrought.
And underneath this there is
further magic yet to be accom
plished. The magic of pushing
green things; of swelling buds
and the swift upflow of sap. The
knowledge of this coming en
chantment makes a singing
through my blood and in my
heart there Is the beginning of
a stir I know so well. Come
onHr.ff seeA and sun and I will
work yet another magic. Just
