. Annual report of the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University and the Agricultural Experiment Station. New York State College of Agriculture; Cornell University. Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). 95° Rural School Leaflet FIRESIDE TALK Alice G. McCloskey. It is a year since we were all together sitting around the roaring wood fire. Do you remember how the wind blew and how we listened to the vines striking against the windows? Do you remember how the branches of the trees creaked? I am sure that you do and that you can still recall the starlit sky of the cold January night. Here we are again, you and I, popping corn as before, occasionally looking at the rosy apples in the basket, and telling each other what we arc going to do during the late winter days — the days most interesting of all, when spring draws near. You are a year older, those of you who last January watched the fire- light with me. You have been interested in many outdoor things and have come to know many. You have stopped grumbling about the weather and are now enjoying the splendor of wind-swept highways and icebound dooryards. You coast and skate and skee and in every possible way find the comradeship of winter. You fill the woodbox at night and have learned to wonder about the sticks as you make them ready for the home evening. You wake up in the morning and hurry down to the old kitchen stove to get warm, glancing the while at the frost pictures on the windows, and wondering at the strange early morning light that winter.
