Population Explosion

After barely a month of being established, the Hillbilly Ecosystem has nearly tripled in size! Distant kin and cousins and step-kin are falling outta the trees like wild pears in a windstorm!
It's attracting some heavy hitters as well who probably come as tourists and then decide to set a spell and get themselves a home once they find out the locals aren't so crude and ig'nert as they 1st appear.

Right now the population is at lucky 13...who knows what it maybe at weeks end!?

Nothing would tickle me more than to see my Million Dollar Lottery Winner icon (the velvet Elvis painting up'chere in the corner.) on a big dog blog in the near future. (Well, aside from actually winning a real lottery, perhaps!) Hey...It could happen!

Once again, I'd like to extend a hearty How dee Do to all of those who have joined up in the past few days.

Lem, the unofficial mayor of the Ecosystem has proposed a Carnival of Hillbillies in the near future. I think in keeping with the theme, we oughta call it it a Hog Roast instead. I mean, that is the quintessential social event for all us hillbillies- Pie Supper is also another major event that ranks just below a Hog Roast.
Whattayall think?
