March 14, 2021 Dreams and Taters - Wyrd Mountain Gals
Tater Planting Time
Episode Airs March 14, 2021 7pm EST
The gals spirits are up because of the nicer weather & their conversation reflects a bit of hope. This hour-long episode covers dreams, Byron's retirement (yeah right...), old sayings, the difference between sleeping hard & sleeping well & the definition of church lady clothes (you're dressed in all black, with a good hat & red lipstick). Then Alicia gets a stern lecture about taking care of herself. They unpack their grief over hearing the light vocal tones in the old episode they played last week & also over so many things that have happened in the last year.

This week's questions: What's the weather like where you live? Have you planted? Have you found
morels yet?

Remember This? A Recap of "Ill Like Little Copperheads"
Episode Airs (again) March 7th, 2021 7pm EST
We thought it might be interesting to go back to March of last year to remind ourselves of where we were at that time with the virus, life on Wyrd Mountain, & everything else. Turns out that we were mad at stupid people back then...no surprise there.
In this episode we were sitting around a table together-no masks were worn. We were still going out to eat & making plans to join friends to make music together.
Irony--Byron "hung up the phone first", not realizing that pretty soon she would be opening each new episodes with "Ring Ring"...

Byron wants to know who the hell cut down her shrubbery (must be the city). She's going to find out one way or the other. And don't ask about developers. Just don't.
When the Yardman finds out there's a new unwelcome resident digging in the basement, he gets right het up himself.
Alicia has decided she's not going to say "what now?" anymore...

Whew, the gals are talking about love & Valentine's day again. Byron knows how to celebrate the holiday, declaring that she's going to buy herself a heart shaped half-priced box of chocolate the day after Valentines.. She also declared "it takes a special person to be a desk clerk" after hearing about some of the hijinks at the hotels around here back in the day. We begin to understand why Alicia can't stand the holiday...
