BLOOD SUCKERS???????
Oh. I think NOT!
As in leeches?
No thanks.
I was wading barefoot in a crick last year and amongst the crawdads, minnies and skippers, I noticed an odd muddy area with perfectly round holes in the otherwise rocky crick bed.
Being eternally curious, I waded over to see what critters lived in those holes.
I stirred up the soft mud too much to really see anything and went back to shore.
As I sat down to take off my wet shoes for dry ones, in horror, I noticed about a dozen small leeches on my feet and ankles.
[I did NOT scream like a girl]
Hubby comes over and wants to know what’s taking me so long so I thrust a foot towards him and yelled “Pulling off THESE! Wanna HELP?!?”
He did not.
I do not like leeches.
[and no, I did not put them back in the water....I threw them in the dirt...let ‘em walk back in if they don’t like it on land]
