Walkin sticks, rest'n and [preachin]

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Country Families : One Thread

I couldn't do much outside last Thursday so I jumped in the old 4 wheel pull chevy and mosey'd over to Jeeps house. He was gone but I noticed the road commissioner a destroyin brush and trees on the right of way/road ditches, with a "burr" on a tractor. He had already went past ole jeeps house and was headed back. In front of his house is a small sassafrass grove growin. Almost all of those small slender trees have grown kinda twisted because of vines climb'n up'm. Makes for a rite smart "spiral" in the treetrunks. They make real good walkin sticks. Well anyhoo--I had my double bitted ax [whut I keep hid from Lil Dumplin] so I just cut down a couple.

I'll peel the bark off'm along with the vines, finish'm and we'll have a couple good walkin sticks.

It's almost time to dig some roots for sassafrass tea. The winter is over with here, I guess, and it's time to take a "Spring tonic" to think the blood a mite. Nuff to make ya'll wanna kick up ya'll heels and run like the wind. At my age---NOT! I'm not hard to please tho. I can set and admire the handiwork of Almighty God [and take my time at it too] without feelin "pressed" to be doin something all the time. I've outgrow'd that a long time ago---well about 5 years ago. It was April 23, 97 that I had that big old ugly hole choppede in my beautimus chest and replummin done. Well that ain't zakly true--my old chest wasn't really that purty! After workin double time for over 20 years this old dumb hillbilly had to slow down a mite.

I will be makin a post shortly that I've been researchin a mite. REgarding the prior race of humans on earth before ole Adam was built by Almighty God. Stick around folks--it orta be interestin to say the least!!

Be good and civil to your neighbor. Almighty God will hold us all accountable for our actions while here on earth. It grieves Him when we are mean to each other! old hoot. Matt.24:44
