Questions & Comments
This potpourri was collected from the many wildflowers gracing the beautiful Appalachian Mountains. Contains over twenty varieties of wildflowers. Some were plentiful, many were rare and difficult to gather.......i know.......because she makes me climb to collect the dificult ones. They have been dried and stored in a smoke free home.......
Well, what you don't know is that cantankerousoldlady is part monkey and mountain goat and can climb up a rock bluff in two seconds, swing from a limb or vine and pick stuff this fat old lady can't. So she gets all the good picking and I get the flat land stuff.
All true facts about Cantankerousoldlady. I was picking blackberries up above her house one summer while she was basking in the Florida sun. I had brought along a young fellow to help pick because two can pick more than one...So, I parked my truck in the dirt road and saw that there'd been a bear there real, real recently because the two "wet spots" in the road and the other stuff the bear left was very fresh. I could smell the bear actually but usually they will leave when you make noise. I was busy making a LOT of noise in the briar patch picking berries and got my long hair tangled up, got really badly scratched yanking free and said a few words I wouldn't want my local preacher to hear. Well, the preacher didn't hear it but the bear asleep 6 ft. away in the blackberry patch must have heard it because it stood straight up close enough to spit on. I looked up at it and it looked down at me and we both cut a trail out of there. The bear was knocking down small trees a strong man couldn't bend. My little friend who was picking with me jumped in my truck, rolled the windows up and locked the doors. Only place I had to go was on top of the truck to watch the bear leave towards the high country, which I was sort of glad it did because otherwise I'd have wound up as supper. Those are the kind of real adventures that Cantankerousoldlady and I have on our picking excursions so we can have something to sell on Listia. No joke. We have videos of some of this stuff but that's another story.....
Well it looked like bear scat, smelled like bear scat so it musta been bear scat. Besides the bear was sleeping in the blackberry patch. I didn't have time to ask him what he'd done in the road. We both was too busy getting outta Dodge.
Ive know Cantankerousoldlady since she was 8 years old. I'm 65 now. I had married her brother but when we got a divorce she kept me and I guess he's gone. LOL
