I keep a pet termite
And all of his progeny;
I feed them on table scraps -
Mostly mahogany•
First-time visitors to Termite
Terrace are without fail
astonished and intrigued by my
novel gate-fasteners•
There are, in the fence
surrounding my immediate
dooryard, a total of five gates•
The front one, having been
installed by a mere carpenter and
an unimaginative one at that,
closes with a conventional hook
and eye; so let us proceed to the
rear of the enclosure, where my
own inimitable style takes over.
At the very heart of a roll of
barbed wire there are marvelous
gadgets created of unbarbed
material for the original purpose
of providing a core• There is at
one end a circular bend that fits
to perfection over a gate-post,
while the opposite extremity
narrows to a long loop which slips
over a piece of lumber protruding
apropos of nothing from the top
of the gate proper.
This throws a, lot of people,
althougfi I Can~{ imagine ~/hy. It is
only necessary to make sure that
gate and gate-post are perfectly
aligned, thus enabling the gadget
to be easily removed and
replaced.
The gate leading to the
barnyard is, I confess, a bit more
complicated, being held by an old
leather cow halter. I've seen some
strong men weep bitter tears of
frustration as they attempt to
determine which buckle leads to
freedom.
A little on the tricky side as
well is the portal through which
one passes from the back yard to
the front, or vice versa• This short
length of fencing is formed of
six-foot cedar garden stakes,
driven into the ground to a depth
of perhaps five inches and nailed
to a two-foot tall frame. There are
eight of these so-called pickets
left un-nailed and to make the
crossing one must uproot the
required number of stakes, leap
over or crawl through the
24-inch-high supporting structure,
and re-plant the stakes. This, for
me, is a comparatively simple
procedure as I can slip through
sideways (holding my breath)
with the removal of only two
pickets. On the rare occasions
that 1 have thus bruised my
anatomical protuberances, I am
reminded to forego the fatted calf
for a few weeks.
Some of my chubbier friends
have found it necessary to remove
all eight pickets only to be faced
with the sad fact that they are
physically unable either to jump
the rail or to force their
corpulences through the aperture
below it, in which case they must
on exhibit through February in
Bigelow's Little Gallery in
Olympia.
For the past ten years Mrs.
Hartman and her husband David
have lived in Shelton. They have
three children, eight-year-old Greg
and Trudi and Jeff, twins, who
are 1 I years of age.
Throughout this time Judi
Hartman has studied off-and-on,
majoring in art. She has attended
Olympic College, Centralia Junior
College, Idaho State University,
the University of Washington and
Pacific Lutheran University, from
which she was graduated with
honors in January, receiving her
degree in art.
Although prefering to paint in
oils, using a palette knife, or in

The piece de resistance,
however, is my garden gate;there

my ingenuity has krtown no

Being a Liberated Woman, I
have secured it with a cast-off
panty-girdle, one leg of which
encircles a paling of the gate,
while the other embraces the
gate-post•
Each subtle summer breeze
that sighs
With soft elusive fragrance
Can toss my thoughts
like butterflies
To make of them mere vagrants;
But wild wet winter
winds, unkempt
In damp and dismal gray,
Can roar and shout
nor ever tempt
My tidy mind to stray•
