She eventually forgives me, but she’s not happy. Last week three trucks full of horse manure dumped their precious cargo on the east side of our house. In the cool mornings, it resembles a trio of volcanoes, smoke rising in a pre-eruptive plume from all that good stuff going on deep inside ... Mount Vesuvius of Virginia.
