Kinda surprised that no one appears to have started a thread this year.
It is definitely the third of June, and my contacts in the Delta suggest that it is, indeed, both sleepy and dusty…
Good of you to remember this - just stopped in to start the thread myself. I’ve got to get back to choppin’ cotton, though - my brother’s baling hay. We’ll probably stop and walk back to the house at dinnertime.
Water’s a little muddy, but today might be a good day to jump in the river for a swim.
Y’all remember to wipe your feet before coming into this thread!
Got some news today from up on Choctaw Ridge…
Pass the biscuits, please.
(Seriously, I could really go for some biscuits right now).
Crap, I forgot to make the black-eyed peas. Well, there’s some left over from last year. And plenty of biscuits.
I’d like some peas as well, please. By the way, today Billie Joe McAllister jumped off the Tallahassie Bridge.
Billie Joe never had a lick of sense anyhow.
Holy cow, has it been a year already?
Yup. Brother married Becky Johnson, they bought a store in Tupelo.
Yes. And there was a virus going around. Pappa caught it and he died last Spring.
And he is still falling?
That boy can’t do nuttin right. Any decent folk would a be durn wit their falling in 2 or 3 seconds. Fer seconds if dey stop to chat with Miss Emily on the way down.
Eh, we’ve all been spending a lot of time picking flowers and stuff.
And dropping them in the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge.
Momma doesn’t seem to wanna do much of anything, though.
Whatever happened to Bro. Taylor? That nice young preacher hasn’t been around much lately…
Don’t know. He mentioned that he’d seen someone who looks a lot like you along with Billy Joe McAllister, though - throwing something off the Tallahatchie Bridge. Was that you?
Nah…wasn’t me. Nothing ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge.
Fair enough. Bizarre, though - I just saw Billy Joe McAllister up at the sawmill, and now I learn he’s gone and thrown himself off the Tallahatchie Bridge.
Meh. Anyway, could I have another slice of pie?
