Today was drop-dead gorgeous. Temps in the 70's, plenty of sunshine, and a perfect breeze. I did some overdue yard work and ate my lunch on the screened porch.All was perfect until the farmers to the south started spreading manure in their fields about 4pm. If you've never lived in the Midwest, you've never quite endured such a loathsome aroma. The air outside now smells like a giant dirty litter box. I had to shut every window before we became ill. Thank The Gods of Agriculture this happens only once a year. We WERE going to have burgers on the porch, but now it'll be inside. Ironic - eating burgers while being chased inside by cow dung.
We're supposed to see some severe weather the next few days including cold temps, rain, wind, thunder, lightning, and perhaps *gasp* SNOW!

I'm with you, sister - it's stinky these days. Maybe the dungy smell is the cow's revenge on us carnivores?
Well, what goes around comes around.
"Ooooooh, a honey wagon daddy! Can I go stand under it and get covered with that 'dirt'?!" Our brother said this in the car when he was young - according to family legend. Everytime we were in the car with Dad, and we'd spot one of these out in a field, he'd tell us this story. Remember car rides with mom and dad? "No hands, no hands, no leaning!!!!!" This was before seatbelt laws. :)
Or, what goes around becomes ground round. That was really just 2/3 of a pun . . . P U
Was that a dirt-y joke?
Nah, I'm just spreadin' the love!
ah, i know that smell well...
i'm enjoying today's rain, though. but tomorrow's might be less enjoyable.
You should serve a pu-pu platter with dinner!
