Hot old road

stick one's chin out(invite disaster)

Peaceful, suuny day

as if a big load had been taken off one's mind

as high as kites(be off one's rocker)

easily done

stir up trouble(shoot one's neck out)

Act of one's own free will

sounds that seem to be winding around the beams

Poverty chills ambition.

have the face of a man but the heart of a dog

He that dwells next door to a cripple will learn to halt.

be out of one's mind

Warm and sunny

Be confused

men yelling and horses neighing

populous

as if one had found a treasure(seem to have hit the jackpot)

get along

Days are long and nights short.
