The Second Rising.....


The Delta Breeze has lowered the temp (thank Gawd) to a much more reasonable setting on the old guage so I went back t’bed which created the ‘second rising’ if you will~or even if you won’t…..
The ‘second rising’ wuz greeted with great elation by dos Weinerz (so wuz the first rising when all four of da collective boyz insisted that I get out of bed ’n accompany them on a nature call to the south forty)….Of course, great elation seems t’be the orders of the day (ev’ry day) for dos Weinerz as they leap, tails wagging, into motion if I so much as move from one room to another….
 “I’m just bidin’ my time ‘cuz that’s the kind’a guy I’m…..” Yeah, bidin’ my time out in the south forty t’day…didn’t really spend much time out there during our recent hot spell…just going by that old adage that a little work never hurt anybody ’n I’m doing my part t’do as little as possible…I make it a rule, ‘specially in hot weather, to not work too hard ’n to make up for it by not working too long either…
‘Course, I expect I c’d spend most of my declining years chopping out Chinese ‘Stink Trees’…..otherwise known as the Tree of Heaven….I figure those Chinese got a pretty warped view of Heaven…
Anyhow, I took my new machete out there t’day ’n worked up a sweat before lunch…..now I got to rake ‘em up ’n get ‘em out’a  there before they  take root ’n multiply…fecundity, thy name is Chinese Stink Tree…..

“My feeling is, you plant stuff; if it grows, great!  If it don’t, you shouldn’t take it personally.”
