I think you should have elaborated on the crop circles story - made that sweet little boy think that aliens were all around... lol. Sometimes I can be so mean.

We burn our brush too, but

if it were up to me I'd have Emil carry it off instead. Take care Joe Love

Joe,

What the blazes! Couldn't you have used a different breed of dog other than my Irish Setters? What would we do without you. Shadow

Hey again, Joe Love....Very funny.....

I learn a lot about country living when I visit your blogs...This was hilarious. And I know the yard waste drove you crazy having to look at it for as long as you did....Great description of Johnny and his no teeth grin and tobacco spittin'. He could have his own sit-com...haha....

Crap circles...that's funny, Lol

A good ol' country tradition/event; burning the trash.

Excellent as always Joe Love - I exit your blogs with a smile each time I visit. Thanks!

Joe!

Yikes, Almighty! Luckily, it's only a burned-out crap circle~! It's fun to get a glimpse into your mothers' personalities - Monster's planting the tree, and yours bringing the cement goose. It would be fun to read more about them sometime!

Too Funny Joe

Loved the "Crap Circles" just remember "just because a jackass brays doesn't mean you have to listen to it."

Great story, Joe_Love, my four sons were about 6 - 12 when they outlawed trash burning in our neck of the woods. They were sure unhappy about that. I kind of missed it to.

Joe Love

We aren't allowed to burn here either...So I wonder where do they burn the crapola we tend to aquire?

I bet they have big bon fires and eat marshmellows or oscar meyer winers..

Thanks for readin all my posts this morning, sure hope you weren't bored to death...lol

Now about that over dressed goose... I have a plan if your interested!

Joe Love: For the love of God: please give the gasoline and

the matches to Masky. It'll be okay, really! Now, untie your "yard keeper" and the stone goose dressed in Thanksgiving get up and remove them from the center of the burn pile. Please, please be rational, love.

Trash burning used to be popular in Flanders too, but nowadays it's forbidden by law. Neighbours can report you when you do - and you get fined heavily.

I hate it when neighbours

decide to burn their yard cuttings.

There is nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide from the smoke.

Yuppers Joe, we do burn trash here in the boonies. I have many

fond nightmares of trash burning day. Thankfully, we have no flammable trees near our "burn pile." We only burn yard waste though, unlike our neighbors who burn everything and create a stink that would make a skunk proud.

Crap circles?

for a brief moment I envisoned your poor goose getting into the ex-lax... I always cut the clippings and even tree limbs up bag em and disguise then as trash.

Oooohhh..you're lucky

over here, if we do open burning.. we would either be fined or thrown into prison..or both..

if only you live where i live..i could report you and i could earn some cash..wahahahahaha. just kidding.. but the crap circle was damn funny!

Joe_Love

We burn it here, too.....or should I say, whoever I can con into doing it for me, burns it....when the little sign at the city hall says it's okay to burn....and after they call and get a permit number.... Do you have to do all that? I loved the crap circles, too....very clever! Your descriptions are so right on....I was getting ill lookin' at the guy's tobacco in his mouth...ugh! I hate that....and the spitting....what is with men ....well, some of them...and this need to spit around themselves......

Joe

"Crap circles" Do I detect an upper New York State, Connecticut, eastern seaboard-type accent there? Have I left anyplace out...haha... Another very funny post. Your humour is of the unexpected type, which is what makes it successful. For example, "Exposing no teeth." There are several humdrum ways of expressing the same idea, but or some reason, it's quite funny worded that way. And this: "You are the wind beneath my wings..." when speaking to this poor, toothless, tabacco-chewing, simple soul, cracked me up, although I mean no disrespect to him. I miss the three years when I lived in the country.
