Juice, grasshopper juice...

Last year the hoppers were so thick, each step across the prairie the ground moved. Nasty, plain nasty. This year it is becoming the same, we cannot drive in off the highway with windows down or we are bombarded by jumping and flying creatures. They seem to have extra sticktuitiveness in their feet. They can ride on the windshield up to 55 miles per hour, what does that tell ya? We're bringing them into town!!!

Last year Carlee ate many, to many I believe, as this year she is simply chewing until the juice is gone and leaves them behind for us to view. Mangled and unsure what the first few were.

Catching up with mowing last night in the deep heat of 95, not a lick of wind, checking on the kids, panting, smiling and it was time for water for all of us. Most fortunate we finished last night as the humidity was high already at 6am and will continue. On that note, stay cool, keep your dogs and all animals cool with plenty of water and shade if outside.

We'll be at the farmer's market next weekend, stop by and say hi.
Take care.
