Lawdy mercy!! I been outta tetch fer a spell. I tumbled down the well hole a while back and it took me a while before I clumb out of it! I drank plenty of fresh water and I et moss offen the rocks, and now and then I found a bug, but eventually come out of that hole and went to my bed and stayed a good while. I purty near got the pew-monia whilst I was in there!! Only times I was outta bed was to fix some fatback and grits and anser nature's calls. Feelin' better now and hope I can take care of thangs agin. Looks like the woods is all right, 'ceptin I seem to be missin' a few more chickens. Wonder if Harriet been back in here again grabbin my cacklers!! Now an then I see a puff of smoke down in the holler so guess Otis is back makin' some 'What Ails Ya" medicine as he calls it. Anyhoo, I gotta fix a bite to eat since I be doing better, then think I will take a walk around the woods and see what I find. Y'all stay outta trouble now...and I will be carryin' old Betsy, my double barrel 12 gauge scatter gun. It ain't actually a scatter gun, but when folks see me comin', they scatter!!
