[at-l] silent spring

[DTimm65344@aol.com (DTimm65344@aol.com)]

My wife used to work at Winterthur (one of those little DuPont houses north 
of here).  For the first few years we were here, employees were given garden 
plots on the grounds which were large enough for us to grow all sorts of 
stuff (corn, potatoes, etc.).  The Yankees coudln't quite figure out what the 
okra and black-eyed pea plants were (kinda foreign here, but that's a 
different story).

The property also had a huge deer population as well as raccoons and 
groundhogs.  Yields were a little light.  Favorite memory was the deer 
waiting at the top of the hill for all of us to drive out (used to watch them 
walk down off the hill in the rear view mirror as I drove away).

But they are so dang cute.
