Prairie Eco-Thrifter

There is a plant called poke that the mountain folks used for greens, but the kids had another use for that plant. One of their uncles played a joke on them and told them that they could ‘grow’ a pony. All they had to do was find some pony poop and plant it! The kids fell for it hook, line and sinker.

For me, it was one of my great aunts and uncles who lived at one end of a dirt road, down from my grandfather. The road connected the big white house of my great aunt and uncle, my grandfather’s house and the house of another great aunt and uncle that didn’t even have running water – they brought in water from a well in the yard!
