WRITERS FORUM Gr ou p to d is cu ss credibility in no nfi ct io n wr it in g COURTESY A butterfly heralds the arrival of spring. By Cathy Wilson While enjoying a quiet afternoon on my patio, the peace was suddenly shat- tered with the arrival of a Rufus hummingbird. De- scribed as the feistiest hummingbird in North America, this Rufus was no exception. He liter- ally attacked the Anna's hummingbirds sharing a feeder, chasing them away. I knew at that moment that spring had officially arrived in my garden. There is something very special about this sea- son. The new leaves on the trees are brighter and the flowers more showy. The wonderful world of color has exploded. In my yard, the intense yellow of the daffodils seem to sparkle beneath the deep pink of the Chinese Fringe flow- ers. Butterflies flit among the lilacs. Harmonious sights and fragrances fill the senses. Spring is a renewal of hope and a time to dream. It is also a time to plan and to work. Clean-up is essential to avoid creating the per- fect habitat for critters like snails, slugs and earwigs. I either hand pick or rake out all fallen leaves and other debris. Note any ex- isting die-back on peren- nials and cut them back— most of them should have new leaves emerging at their base. Since I have an estab- lished garden, I top dress fresh premium soil or aged compost into all my beds. I work it carefully into the existing soil with a trowel. Fresh mulch can also be applied. Then I water well. As you walk around your yard observe the new plants that have come up, check bare areas and re- view your overall design. Are the colors working well together? Would an- other color enhance the existing colors? Is there enough interest usually created by differences of texture in leaves and flow- ers? Do you need more height? Do you need conti- nuity or less formality? Remember hard land- scape can also be added — a bench, a fountain? There are also great and fanci- ful garden art available to tuck into already existing plantings such as deco- rated glass plates on rebar or metal sculptures. A garden is always a work in progress. I've never had a garden that was perfect and that is part of the fun, trying to achieve it. Just when I think that I am close, then I find that very spe- cial plant that I must have. Sooo, I have decided that change is a very good thing—almost perfect. En- joy this spring. It is full of promise. The Red Bluff Gar- den Club is having a plant sale from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on May 15 and 16 at the Union Hall on 12889 Baker Road. We will not only of- fer plants but garden art as well. Come join us and have fun shopping. TheRedBluffGardenClub is a member of Cascade District, California Garden Clubs, Inc. and Pacific Region, National Garden Clubs, Inc. RED BLUFF GARDEN CLUB Dr. Richard Deener, sec- retary of the Chamber of Commerce, is now engaged in making arrangements and getting suggestions for Red Bluff's big annual pic- nic which will probably be held in Bidwell Park either the last of April or the first Friday in May. So far the plan which has met with the most approval is that of having another "Fat and Lean" baseball game, simi- lar to that held last year. The proceeds of this year's entertainment will be used for the Berendos Park fund, as were those of last year. It has been suggested that the celebration of the opening of Main street and the big picnic be held on the same date. It has met with considerable favor in view of the fact that the picnic would necessarily be a day- light affair and as the Main street celebration would in all probability consist prin- cipally of a dance it would be a night function and could be a continuation of the picnic. — March 26, 1915 100 YEARS AGO...
