Default A load of s**t

Arrived in my yard yesterday afternoon ... barn scrapings , from goats ,
sheep , chickens/ducks/other fowl . Another is coming today , this stuff has
been composting in place for who knows how long . This comes from a
neighbor I shared seeds and advice with , young fellow that's just getting
started in gardening for food . I'm doing what I can to positively affect
his experience ...

How big was your grin? That's like winning the lottery for a gardener.
Around here they package s**t and sell it for ten bucks. I miss the days
in Louisiana when friends would tell us to come on out and get a pickup
load of s**t and they would help us load. One friend was cleaning out a
cow shelter that hadn't been used in ten years and loaded my truck with
front end loader. He got jams, jellies, and pickles until we moved.

"scat" is polite farmer talk for s**t. :-)

Worked for a farm animal pharmacy for a while. They
used the word "scat" so much that the 12 year old
inside me actually stopped chuckling. "Did you
check their scat to see if ..."

I grew up on a small farm in SE Texas, even my grandmother called it
s**t. So there!

Even the strait-laced mormon community I grew up in called it s**t .

Just out of curiosity, did you get you mouth washed out with
soap if you said that word, be she could say it as much as she
wanted?

"Where did you hear that word ?!?!?" And please tell me you were
wish enough not to answer!

Nope, my paternal grandmother loved me, she just tut tutted, and shook
her finger at me. After all I was her eldest grandchild. G Just like
all my elders she used that word frequently. I never feared my
grandmother but was scared to death of my mother, she whacked me upside
my head with a ten inch cast iron skillet once for back talking her.

Sounds like a couple of my paternal uncles, one was a boilermaker and
the other was a carpenter. They said it like it was and would then grin
at you. I miss all those folks.

I credit the head whacking for my IQ, she jarred my brain enough to get
me through high school and college over a thirty year span. G Now I'm
just another retired old fart living on his youth. If I had known I was
going to live this long I would have saved more money. Yeah, that's my
story and I'm sticking to it.

It's a beautiful morning in SE Texas, temp is right around 64F, no rain,
a bit of clouds. The garden is doing well, I think we will go get some
store bought groceries today.
