Farside cartoons

This blog has no picture.


If I was married to Gary Larson, the cartoonist, instead of Butch Larson, there would be a Farside cartoon to illustrate wht happened yesterday.


Growing up on the farm, there were always cows and flowers. I had no idea that the cows were responsible for the beautiful flowers that graced my Mother's garden.


Each year for Mother's Day, Mom would ask for a load of "black dirt" from the pile behind the barn . This secret addition of decomposition resulted in her many prize winning floral arrangements at the Beltrami County Fair.

A few years ago, Mom dicovered that cow shit came all packaged up in bags. So, yesterday, Butch went to Fleet and bought her 6 bags of cow manure.

You have already pictured the cartoon; cows doing cartwheels in the pasture, rolling on the ground with belly laughter, turning over in their graves,etc.???

But wait! Fleet was all out of cow manure and Butch had to substitute sheep manure. Picture the stunned faces of the day lilies............
