Possible Idioms


I woke up last night thinking about idioms.
Reading Mary Karr's book Liar's Club, I came across many fine tuned phrases, as she is a very good writer. She says about her mother, "She transcended thrift" even when in poverty.
Brother Mike, when he is talking about dying, uses the phrase "Hitting the wall." To me this has a very cartoon, picturesque, quality to it that I enjoy.
The posted picture is me leaning on a manure spreader.

Sure, because it's parked near the ancient steam roller.

There are, apparently, not enough Fiero's in Michigan to fill 2 acres. Go for the cotton gin!
