Comments

Today was a gorgeous day. There was no pesky wind and the temperature was in the lower 80’s. Karen rode in her new boat for the very first time. The bugs were really swarming tonight while I was cat fishing. I did not dare have a light on, for fear it would be a landing light to bring the bugs in. It was if I was the parade and the bugs were the confetti. These bugs looked like very tiny may flies. That brings up another subject: why are they called mayflies. The largest hatch in our area occurs around the 4th of July. I think we should call them independence bugs. After all they appear on the 4th and they gain their independence from their watery nursery on the day they appear.
