Welcome to ... THE Club The Battle of the Green By Jodi Edwards Wright, Chatham from Daytripping May-June 2011 issue My lawn and I, we disagree, I think it should grow grass, you see. But instead there’s weeds galore, So I went to the garden store. Spray this, spread that, Don’t mow too short, The soil’s acidic, they report. You need to aerate, sow more seed, Get down on your knees, Remove that weed. Now that weed there, got just the thing, But to apply it, wait ‘til spring. Don’t forget to rake the thatch, Put sod down on that brown patch. My wallet lighter, home I go, With bags of topsoil, grass to grow. Tons of pamphlets to set me straight, But as I opened my tailgate, A light bulb lit above my head, Why not just get a pro instead? Now I’m sunning on my deck, I didn’t write a humungous cheque. No, I’m done with the lawn care scene, Mother Nature can make things green. And what if there’s a weed or ten, I’ve got cash in the bank again! This magazine comes with a free, built-in, old fashioned fly swatter!

Many of the articles are from the archives of Daytripping Magazine. School Daze By Dorothy J. Johnson, Petrolia I got to reminiscing after reading in the Spring Issue of the DayTripping “What’s in a Name” by Dot Sale. My name being Dorothy too, I remembered one year at school five girlfriends decided we didn’t like our names. We thought flowers had nicer names than ours so we all changed to a flower name. We would have been 9 or 10 years old at the time. We had Pansy, Rose, Lily, Daisy and I was Iris. We were in a one room country school and at noon hour and recess, we wouldn’t answer to our real names. It caused quite a turmoil sometimes, but we had a lot of fun with not answering to our proper names. Some would really get mad and some would just leave us alone. This lasted pretty much all year, however, by the next school year, was all forgotten. I now like my name. Dorothy means “A gift from God” so I feel it’s a lot to live up to. Ninety plus years later, I just love it when grandchildren and great grandies come to visit with a “Hi Grama Dottie!” I wonder where in the world I came up with the name Iris?!? The first year I went to school, one of the big (older) boys was our Hero and Good Samaritan of the school yard. He made sure no one was bullied, and if anyone got hurt, he was always the first one there to help you. If there was a fight, he would have it quieted down, often without the teacher knowing about it. He had a way of making everyone feel as if they mattered, whether big or little and he was certainly missed the next year when he went to Watford High School. I was an only child for 12 years, so I really enjoyed having someone to play with at recess time. I particularly liked playing “Fox and Goose” in the winter after a snowfall came to make tracks in. There was a pond not far from school that if there was ice, we would go skating at noon hour. The teacher had a big bell that he would step outside and ring for us to come back to school. I am sure we took our time. In Spring and Summer, there were ball games, with the big boys always arguing about the rules. There was always a Fall fair we could participate in. The first time I had a poem to recite about a girl and Welcome to ... her dolly. I was so nervous. I remember Mom telling me to forget the people just get up there and talk to my dolly. There was one line that had a big word in it that I had to learn. “Don’t be such an ignoramous.” It took a long time for me to learn that word, but I finally did and I have never forgotten it. The next year I recited one about Jenny Wren and her husband house hunting. One year I won a prize for a school lunch I packed. I made a sandwich of brown bread with cream cheese and chopped parsley; carrot sticks and a big red Spy apple. I was very pleased about that prize. This was the start of my enjoying, in future years, exhibiting baking and crafts at the local Fall fairs. We had a good teacher and he made sure we all knew our grammar, history, geography and mostly our three “Rs”. For the youngsters, that’s “Readin,’ Riten and Rithmatic, taught to the tune of “A Hickory Stick”. Our school years flew by and we were off to work or High School with Public School just a pleasant memory. THE Club Need Bookkeeping Done?
