Country is a copy of the Farmer's Almanac on the top of the toilet tank.
Every pickup has a shotgun rack and there is more hanging on it than a coffee cup.
Not being able to wait for the first one to turn red and having fried green tomatoes with dinner.
Walking out at first light, grabbing a peach off the tree and enjoying the first bite, sweet and cold from the night air.
A set of hay hooks on the dash.
When the whole town turns out for the Christmas Light Parade and it's composed of three pickups festooned in Christmas lights, one towing a duck boat with Santa in it, two logging trucks, and a cement mixer. Proud to say I was one of the judges at that one.. Great bon fire afterwards at the fairgrounds, kids all running around in the dark with paper cups filled with hot chocolate and adults with paper cups filled from whatever was under the front seat.
Walking into the pantry, looking at the shelves after a good summer and feeling rich.

WELL SAID BOB !! Lately I have been noticing that my reading material on my toilet tank consist of Medicare Forms, Almanac and the most recent copy of the AARP Magazine...LOL

Sounds like some of that stuff would be better off in the toilet instead of on top PAP....
Hey got a story for you.. Was driving by the local gas station the other day and noticed one of the local ranchers there. He's on the far end of 60, wears cowboy boots, faded baggy jeans held up with a pair of red suspenders over a flannel plaid shirt, and the same sweat stained cowboy hat he's had probably since he was a teenager. He was pumping gas into his new, paper plates still on it, shiney red corvette..
AHHHHH the fruits of thy labor.... Bob

catching a jar full of grass hoppers for bait before we went fishing.

Had to keep the butter on the kitchen table in a covered dish. if someone put it in the fridg, it would get like concrete.
In the winter, when the kids got up, we all ran to the kitchen, because it was the warmest place in the house.
Everyone's bed had a slop jar under it.
The funniest thing in the world was watching the chicken run around the yard without his head, after Daddy had rung it's neck. (fried chicken for supper again, Pappy)
Reaching up high into the chicken's nest to get eggs, and grabbing a black snake.
Listening to the Lone Ranger on the old stand-up Philco radio with the big dial in the center.
Walking a mile to the store to get a Dixie Cup.
Didn't have door keys, because the doors didn't need locks.
Sitting under the pecan tree in the summer with my Grand Pa shooing flys, and whittling on a stick. had to stop every now, & then so Grand Pa could spit.
