"From
the cow to the plow, Dewey," Windy said, leaning on a shovel. Windy
Wilson was on another of his "helper days," and today it was Dewey
Decker's turn to be helped. |
"What do you mean, Windy?" "You know ... a slogan for the
business. From the cow to the plow. Fertilizer. Farming."
He was helping Dewey spread some product around at Mrs. Simmons'
yard, helping her anticipate a greener lawn this summer. Besides
enriching the English language at every possible moment, Alphonse
"Windy" Wilson devotes one day each week to helping someone, for
free, here in the valley. He usually calls it his "enrichelating
experience."
Windy went back to Dewey's pickup for the steel rake. "What
you're doing here," Windy tossed back over his shoulder, "is plowing
backly into our community the veriatable seedlets of hope and change
for the future. Yes, if I can coagulate some ideas for assisticating
your business, I'm delightable. We need ya, boy!"
"Thanks, Windy. Everyone's been so nice. You know Emily's coming
up with new ways of using cow manure so we can ... well, spread out
a bit more."
"Absotively. I heard that sweet little chickadee of yours was
masticating some ideas that are ultra noo voe and knife bladely
sharp. She's a honey."
"She sure is. She thinks we might get a steel tank and pour
manure in it, then fill it with water. She says they call it
'fertilizer tea' or something and it's good to spray on crops."

"No foolin'? Won't you have to buy one a them sprayer thingies to
drag behind a tractor?"
Dewey stopped shoveling and thought. "Now that you mention it,
we'd have to have some way to get it on the field. But you know
about me and machinery ..."
Dewey's being monumentally self-destructive around anything
valuable, movable or sharp was certainly no secret.
"Why, son," Windy said, "you just worry about getting that
tractor ignitified, and I'll drive 'er for you."
"You'd do that?"
Windy put his hand on his heart. "Dewey, my word is my blonde."
