Visual Description:  A scrapyard scenario most of us would like to see.

ZIERP  =  PRIZE,  PORDO  =  DROOP,  BREEMM  =  MEMBER,  SCUMEL  =  MUSCLE   —   Giving us:  PROPEBRMUC

Clue/Question:  What the farmer acquired when he bought the junkyard.

Answer:  A “BUMPER“ CROP

(I like it!  Not terribly difficult, but some good clue words, overall good scrambling, a vivid illustration, and of course . . . a great groaner of a pun!  And, as a tree-hugger, I approve of this concept!  Be good, do good, folks.)   — YUR

“My little old dog:  A heartbeat at my feet.”   — Edith Wharton

(I’ll add Edith Wharton to my list of authors whom I need to get around to reading.  Seems you can’t be a credible literary snob without having read her.  Damn my sub-vocal reading skills!)   — YUR
