In this episode, Byron declares that it's been a rough week, even though it's only Wednesday..

Heat, daily storms, Covid, and staying home too much is dragging them down! There's talk of green beans & road trips--maybe even a visit to the local porn shops…(yes, porn not pawn!)..
The gals want to know how you are doing, and what crafts are you working on?

Porch misidentified offering--
"Hard Times"
written by
Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlings

There was a camp town man, used to plow and sing
And he loved that mule and the mule loved him
When the day got long as it does about now
I'd hear him singing to his muley-cow
Calling, "Come on my sweet old girl, and I'd bet the whole damn world
That we're gonna make it yet to the end of the row"

Singing "hard times ain't gonna rule my mind
Hard times ain't gonna rule my mind, Bessie
Hard times ain't gonna rule my mind no more"

Said it's a mean old world, heavy in need.
That big machine is just picking up speed
They were supping on tears, they were supping on wine
We all get to heaven in our own sweet time
So come all you Asheville boys and turn up your old-time noise
And kick 'til the dust comes up from the cracks in the floor

Singing, hard times ain't gonna rule my mind, brother
Hard times ain't gonna rule my mind
Hard times ain't gonna rule my mind no more

But the camp town man, he doesn't plow no more
I seen him walking down to the cigarette store
Guess he lost that knack and he forgot that song
Woke up one morning and the mule was gone
So come on, you ragtime kings, and come on, you dogs, and sing
And pick up the dusty old horn and give it a blow

Playing, hard times ain't gonna rule my mind, honey
Hard times ain't gonna rule my mind, sugar
Hard times ain't gonna rule my mind no more

Well, they are still going on about the groundhog. (It appears his days are numbered). Byron is almost finished "canning everything in the world". The harvest is coming in, magical oil is being put up, and neither gal is shy about their opinion on the state of today's world.. There's talk of bees and chickens.
PS-Do you know your state's official toast?.

Hot As All Get Out-Part 1
Dog Days are here & the gals are just about over.....well...they're just about over most everything these days. It's a long episode, to go along with the long days of unrelenting heat, then rain, then heat, then some more rain. At least Alicia is happy about the good mushroom crop this year, in spite of losing her temper earlier in the week (gasp!) Byron is pushing on & the tales are flyiing in this longer than usual episode.

The Time of Long Dying
It's "too hot to bake pie" (as Byron says) & the
conversation is a reflection of the temperature on Wyrd
Mountain. Alicia grosses Byron out with talk of fish

these fortune cookie times. There's talk of quarantine
hair & guinea pigs.

Kool-Aid, Cookies, & Fast Cars

The gals have one of those good old-fashioned & un-rushed conversations that are so hard to come by anymore. Must be the heat that sent them into lanquid territory.
Well...there were a few tense moments when Byron let loose about her love of Skype & Alicia came up with a new word....
