I assumed that found its way from your part of the world. There's a phrase here that I do not know the derivation of but I have heard people say it. "Drunk as Cooter Brown." There are probably many, many stories of who Cooter Brown was. Of course, the all-time winner of describing a very intoxicated state is "drunk as fuck." Plain, simple. To the point.

Every year my Beloved Queen's Wreath dies all the way back and I think I've lost it, fingers crossed it resurrects itself again? I have a weedy ground cover that does well in the pastures, but it has nasty seed pods, otherwise, I'd let it grow since it's at least Green and hardy with clover like leaves and tiny yellow flowers. *LOL* Glad you survived the storm and have a generator.
