rune in Winter!” It’s notquite that simple. By fol-lowing this generalinstruction, you can get in
some trouble — not to mention a lot ofwork all at once.
Here are some tips as to what toprune now and what to wait on. I’ll tryand make it more simple, and givesome tips on how to learn what you’redoing.
First of all,winter pruningis safe andneeded on dor-mant fruit trees(leafless), andhardy trees andshrubs. Don’tprune frost ten-der plants orearly springbloomers inwinter.
At Robby’s,we just had ourrose pruningseminar and areabout to have our Fruit Tree Care andPruning Seminar (not citrus). Theseare timed for now because it is time toprune these plants. Flowers on thesevarieties form on new wood and willbloom more with winter pruning.
Remember though, only dormant fruittrees right now. Each of these varietieshave particulars in pruning to insure
the best fruit production. Come by and pick up a copy of the
easy to read: “How to Prune FruitTrees.” I love this book because youcan read about your peach tree, thenprune it. Turn to apricots, read the par-ticulars, then prune it, and so on. Verysimple and an easy way to refresh whatyou learn in our seminar. With thesetwo instruction aids, you will be able tomake those cuts with confidence andend up with optimum fruit production.
To further explain the “don’ts” inwinter pruning — don’t prune earlyspring bloomers until after they bloom.Flowers on these plants form at the endof the summer and pruning now caneliminate the bloom. Plants like azal-eas, lilacs, camellias, dogwoods, for-sythia, spirea, carolina jasmine,hardenbergia and bulbs will bloommuch better if pruned after they bloom.
Another don’t — don’t prune “frosttender” plants until all danger of frostis over. Plants like citrus, bougainvil-laea, hibiscus, some ferns and palmsare among the list of plants not to prunein the winter. You can help protectthese plants by spraying with WiltProof and/or covering with frost cloth,but no pruning.
Other plants you DO prune now,while cleaning up your winter garden,are: (prune to shape) hydrangea, crapemyrtle, large-shade trees, and hardyshrubs/perennials. These plants youprune back enough to be a good heightafter some spring growth pushes. Inother words, prune them to a smallersize than you want them to end up.
Prune these varieties back hard —nearly to the ground: lantana, daylilies,bearded iris and dormant grasses.These are varieties that will flush newgrowth very quickly in the spring. Iknow this can get confusing, so don’thesitate to come in and look around.Many times you can get good clues as
to winter maintenance by seeing whatyour local nurseries do for winter prun-ing.
Basically, yes you can winter prune— but not everything and not with allthe same technique. Educate yourselfand you’ll have a better producing gar-den. More fruits and flowers — whatfun!

I would like to nominate Mrs. Kuest
from Rosedale North Elementary School
for educator of the month. She is my
third-grade teacher and she’s wonderful.
She makes class a lot of fun. Sometimes
she acts silly while teaching us some-
thing new. She brought hot cocoa for us
one day because we were reading a
story about it. Mrs. Kuest also lets us
play multiplication games. Last but not
least, she has the best cursive I’ve ever
seen.

Casa Loma Elementary student, Grant Johnson, has been busy memorizing his oral lan-guage piece that he will perform at the Kern County Oral Language Festival on Febru-ary 20.
xcellence just does not comeeasily or quickly! We educatorssee it proven again and again. Itreminds me of Thomas Edison’swords, “I’m a great believer in
luck and I find the harder I work, themore I have ofit.
In education,this becomes soobvious whenc h i l d r e nachieve. Hun-dreds of stu-dents arepreparing forthe Kern CountyOral LanguageFestival wherethey select apiece of pub-lished litera-ture, memorizeit, and perform it with feeling at theclass, school, district, area, and finally,county levels.
Like academics, sports, and music,public speaking needs to be practicedand honed. For Grant Johnson, compet-ing is a laborious process.
Last year, the Casa Loma Elementarystudent spent months finding the per-fect piece, memorizing all five plusminutes of it, working in gestures, andfinally performing it for what seemed azillion times.
After a performance when he spoketoo quickly, he lost out on the competi-tion at the Bakersfield City School Dis-trict level. Grant’s mom, Alisa says,“Grant watched the other competitorsand I think he finally understood whatit took to be a winner.”
It’s a new year and Grant is ready forthis year’s competition. Although hecouldn’t have imagined it last year, hespent much more time this year work-ing on his piece titled, “I Wonder IfHerbie’s Home Yet” by MildredKantrowitz.
I’m hoping that as Grant moves on tocompete at the County level, he does agreat job. Either way, he will be readyfor “We the People” forensics, or Virtu-al Enterprise in high school.

s we all know, gray, foggy days arejust part of life in Bakersfield duringthe winter. When we’ve had enough ofthe cold, sunless days, we like to do a“Run-a-Way Day. Sometimes we
“RUN” up the hill for Tehachapi sunshine,other times we “RUN” over the hill to the sun-ny Santa Clarita Valley.
William S. Hart Park(www.hartmuseum.org) in Newhall is one ofour favorite places to visit on a “Run-A-WayDay.” Admission is free, which makes it afavorite for the family budget too. The proper-ty consists of 265 acres sitting smack dab inthe middle of Newhall.
The park offers a chance to visit the originalHorseshoe Ranch House, feed the animals inthe barnyard area, hike the nature trails ortour the museum filled with one-of-a-kindWestern art and Native American artifacts.
Roaming the ranch, is a herd of AmericanBison that came to the ranch in 1962 as a giftfrom the Walt Disney Studios. On top of thehill, Mr. Hart built a beautiful Spanish colonialrevival mansion with 360 degree views of thevalley. Tours are offered on the hour and givevisitors a peek into the life of a Silent WesternMovie Star in the 1920s. My grandkids got abig kick out of seeing the old-fashioned stovein the kitchen and were amazed as weexplained that an icebox was just that — a boxwith ice in it. No water in the door or ice makerback then!
My husband and I enjoy the home itself.From the beautiful carved-wood beams, Mexi-can tile and California Oak floors, to the won-derful Western movie memorabilia Mr. Hartcollected. This home is filled with pricelessWestern furniture and art, yet still manages tomaintain a warm, homey feel. With a littledusting and cable, I could move right in!
Unlike so many of the other State of Califor-nia park homes, photography is allowed
inside, but you MAY NOT use flash.The park also offers picnic and barbeque
areas shaded by old-growth trees original tothe ranch. You can finish off your day by visit-ing the Santa Clarita Historical Society whichis located at the other end of the park(www.scvhs.org/history.htm).
So the next time you are suffering from the“B-Town Gray Day Blues,” grab your family,your camera and create your own “Run-a-WayDay.
Barbara Butler is the president of Kern Pho-tography Association. If you love taking pic-tures and would like to meet others who shareyour interest, then we are the place for you!
Please visit our Web site at: www.kernpho-tographyassociation.org.
A ‘run’ to this historic home is anice break from the winter blues!

scored points for the team.
His family is very proud of
him!
This photo was taken byhis Uncle Wes of him scor-ing a touchdown!
his winter, as the cold tempera-tures finally settled in like athin blanket of fog on a moonlitnight, I finally had to acceptthat which my spouse and I had
joked about for the past couple of years— our cats are, indeed, getting old.
Yes, I’m sure someone far more poet-ic than I may have written that moredelicately, but when I look at three ofthe loves of my life, I see the changesthat mark their advancing years and,frankly, it’s a bit less delicate than I’dlike.
Bo Kitty, once a hunter of rabbits whotrolled the riverbank in his old home inNorthern California, is now, at 13, morecontent to sit in the lounge chair in thebackyard soaking up the sun as thedoves pick through the ground beneaththe liquid amber. He can still get somegreat leaps, should the mood possesshim, but is more often inclined to stareat us while issuing a plaintive “meow,”hoping one of us will lift him up to thecounter where the food bowl is located.The cat once least likely to initiate cud-dling, now actively seeks the warmth ofa lap to snuggle into.
Musette is beginning to show somesigns of stiffness in one leg when she
rises after a long rest, particularly oncold days. And she snores. Reallysnores. As in — “Geez, what’s thatweird sound?” — before you realizethat she’s sleeping in the cat tree sixfeet away from you.
Weebles, too, is wandering towardssen ior -hood ,most noted bythe increasinglength of hernaps and whereshe chooses totake them.Once content tosleep on achair, she’s nowmore likely tobe found cud-dled within thefolds of a fuzzyblanket, usingthe warmth andcushioning it
provides to add to her body heat. Nolonger the wild child tearing throughthe hallways, Weebs is now the leisure-ly wanderer, hoping to meet up withyou in a room that has a pillow ready toreceive her aging bones.
As they’ve matured, they sleep a bit
more deeply, ask for a little more lov-ing attention and look for the softer,easier path when planning their days.We find that our interaction with themchanges, too. We speak a bit more soft-ly when we address them, nestle theirfur a bit more gently and are more like-ly to give them the chair they claimedwhile we were eating dinner, choosinganother for ourselves.
We look at the three of them moreinquisitively these days, wondering ifwe are meeting needs they cannot fullyexpress, and when one of them seemsill, it takes on a decidedly more urgenttone, knowing at this stage of the gamehow small things can become bigthings more quickly than we like toadmit.
We appreciate them more, knowing aswe bear witness to their advancingyears, that our time with them is notinfinite. That even the very best of catlives does not last forever and althoughwe may still have years to go, the yearsleft ahead are not nearly so great innumber as the ones already passed.Armed with that knowledge, we cher-ish our time with them, regardless ofthe length of the road that lies ahead.
Our once wild, curious kittens are
now gentle, loving, old souls, weavingtheir purrs among our heartstrings.
We wouldn’t have it any other way.Have a pet-related question or com-
ment? E-mail Vicky at:[email protected] or go to:www.pawprintcitytimes.com.

009 ended with the special treatof a “Blue Moon.” A blue moonis an extra — 13th — full moonin a calendar year.
Normally, there are only 12full moons that occur approximatelymonthly. However, the solar calendarcontains an extra 11 days when com-pared to the lunar year. Since theseextra days accumulate, every two orthree years, there is an extra moon.
In December 2009, the first full moon
appeared Dec. 2 — on Dec. 31, NorthAmerica was treated to a second, fullmoon.
The photo here was taken at approxi-mately 6 p.m. in my backyard in theLower La Cresta neighborhood in Bak-ersfield. I was outside, and saw themoon in a perfect location just abovethe roof of my neighbor’s home. Igrabbed my camera and decided toshare it with the readers of The Bakers-field Voice.
