Yesterday, my helper didn't come to finish his fall drainage ditch cleaning. In November, in this heavenly little mountain valley we call home, if the sky looks like it did yesterday, that's one job to do in a hurry.

I still have some yellow crocus bulbs in my work file, I don't know what Lappened to them last year. There were plenty of white and purple but not one yellow. Hugh loves the yellow ones so I shall try nea, j * * * I drove Mrs. Alice Perry home the other day and was treated to the most spectacular sight that I have ever seen. It was an oak tree. Alice always has a beautiful garden but this » really outdoes even her summer-mallow and roses, I have several of the leaves here before me now and one of them measures 10 inches long and almost 8 inches across, I cannot describe the color. It has all, and Ido mean all, of the gorgeous reds you can even imagine. Alice says it's called Scarlet Oak. She recommends it highly. She also has a Northern Red Oak, which is beautiful, but it won't begin to compare with the Scarlet. She put them both in her garden 4 years ago and the Scarlet is 20 feet tall. It is about twice as big as the Northern Red. * * * * After our visit to her garden, Alice and I came back to Mr. Perry's office. We talked about several of the new folks in town that I don't know yet. Mr. and Mrs, H. H. (Alice) Fountain have taken over the ladybugs from the Louis Schnoors, The Fountains are from Moutain View, California. They are beginning to get settled into their new home on Ladybug Lane. * * * * The David Webbs are here from Oregon, Their new home is on Dutch Knob Road, Webb is the brother of Mrs. Alice Licht. The Edward F. (Alice) Lichts are from Torrance, Calif. They bought their property on Rough and Ready Road several years ago, but are just now getting settled in a new home there. The two homes are very near each other, possibly within hailing distance. When the community street signs are up, which will be very soon now, you can easily find these locations. Dutch Knob is where the Van Udens live and the Licts are next door (north I think) from Bursills, Garden Lane, Another interesting coincidence about the Lichts is Mrs. Lichts name, Alice E, which is exactly the same as Mrs, Alice E. Fountain. I was driving with Alice M. Sorry, I didn't get nosey enough to find what-the middle initials stand for. * * ‘ * * The Harold H, (Irene) Powells are also just getting located here though they bought their property several years ago. They are from Freedom, California. Their new residence is on Digger Hill Way (I think.) Anyway they are back very close to Paula Lake. I must take a ride back into our hinterland again and get the new people properly located in my mind .(?), It's a beautiful drive down Prospector Road to where all these people live and if you need an excuse it's always nice to welcome new neighbors. * ae * Just a bit further out Rough and Ready Road you can take another turn to the right on Higrader Road to visit the Donald D (Dunbar, another coincidence) Frazers. They are not new here but they are moving from Highway. 20 to the former home of the Fred Binkerds. The Binkerds are moving to Grass Valley temporarily, but plan on returning to their former home in Montana very soon. * , * * * Just. another piece further and you turn left on to Rocker Road. The Sanchez family live here. There is Ralph and Loretta and their three children, I feel a kinship with the Sanchez. They are very proud of being part Indian and you may not remember, though I'm sure I must have bragged about it many times, I too am part Indian, Cherokee. I hear the Sanchez’ have sunk a new well and have lots of marvelous water. Water has always been a problem for their neighbor Mrs. Sue Fay. There on that apparently dry hillside with the NID ditch at a slightly lower level than their homes, a good well is a blessing. * * Last but of course, not least, are the Herman J. (Elise) Bueschers. They are right close in town on Mystery Lane. The Cueschers are from Hemet, Calif. They came here 5 years Ato and. looked us over. This time they have come to stay. They have purchased the Cobbs ome. Bae ak * * We "Noble Thoughts" last week had a very noble thought about the little new (old) "church in the wildwood" at Malakoff Diggins’. St. Columcilles Church was given to the Hos & Mr. Pinaglia of North San Juan and park supervisor Eric Leffingwell is restoring it. t needed, among other things, a bell. A plea was made and it got three. People are really wonderful! One is really much too big. The church would probably collapse. Plans are being made to mount it on a tower as an alarm bell for the community. Some of the old timers remember a bell being used in the old days for such a purpose. The third bell will hopefully soon end up in the old school, One of our Citizens Advisory Committee members, Mr. Bob Wyckoff, had approached a local man who knows about casting before he knew about the three bells, Mr. Ehlert, of Grass Valley, said he would make the church a bell and offered his labor if the committee would just supply the necessary tin, brass, and silver. Wouldn't know someone who wants to donate an old Masonic Lodge or a Knotwell’s Drug Store would you? Mr. Leffingwell asked for pews for the old church one day and almost immediately got the required 20. He is working on new siding and paint just now. Truly the Malakoff Diggin's is a "people's Park", Homecoming Day nea! year will be Sunday, June 11, 1972, The theme will be "Sunday in the Park" honoring the church. It will be dedicated and featured. I can hear the bells now and practically taste that family picnic lunch, Cards for membership in the North Bloomfield Fire Dept. are available for your wallet and will add your dollar to the restoration fund. You can get them from any advisory committee member or from Mr, Leffingwell at the Park, Here in Rough and Ready, Daniel Beatie and I Park Advisory Committee members. : are your State Par
