Soon the kids will demand supper, skipping into our fragile economy demanding butter on their bread.I think I have never been so exalted —  tomorrow we will have chicken wings with dumplings and biscuits from "scratch" and fresh mustard greens with nothing on them. Sasha, too, is at the top of my list, #1 on Casa Grande in my book.She's just a Northern yellow daisy transplanted into a red-clay field of kudzu in the hogsbreath Southside of the Delta, a single stem of loveliness glorified in the sweetest odors of simple perfume from Woolworth.Ah these dimesongs of life in Urbana, domestic poetry of pots and pans, an occasional Lone Star beer.v i e w  23
