Evidently, dad was catching some big ones. He’d have a net or screen & pick up rocks in the river where the hellgramites would be located, catching them as they were ‘flushed’ out. Dad was a teenager mostly when doing this so the time frame would have been in the 1930’s.

TWO - count them - TWO days in a row without rain! I am on the mower today and tomorrow. Ya-Hoo! I cannot believe how fast the grass is growing, even with our high temps. I just mowed on Friday!

Got my new sun hat with bug netting and it’s really nice. Loving that bug dope from Off. Can’t believe the improvements they’ve made over the years. I am pretty much caught up on weeding, but there are two spots I’m going to nuke. They are not near any food plants and we have no water up here by the house. Safety First!

Hope everyone is drying out a bit. More rain here on Friday - I think I’ll go walk at the Hospital, which is a really nice thing they allow for the ‘Silver Sneakers’ crowd. :)
