- Monday, 6/8: Backwards Meat Whistle Fly
- We received an email that our chicks shipped out today from Cackle Hatchery in Lebanon, MO. We should see them on Wednesday morning.
- We've come to the end of gnat season and we are now in the middle of deer fly season. They swarm around you the instant you venture outside. Sometimes they come in on us or the dog. You'll notice one in the window, but it isn't wise to swat them on the glass, because the end result is blood spattered on the inside of glass. Fortunately, a squirt of Dawn dish soap solution kills them quickly.
- Our forecast calls for rain throughout the day. While washing dishes after the noontime meal, I looked out the window and said, "It's not raining at all." The very next second, a downpour drenched our property. It made Mary laugh.
- I made a meat whistle fly (see photo, below). Unfortunately, I put the rabbit fur backwards on the hook. We'll see if my mistake works when I try it on the end of a fishing line.
- Mary was working on a cross stitch pattern when she declared that she did two froggings in a row. Frogging is cross stitch speak for "rip-it, rip-it," meaning you have to tear some stitching out due to a mistake. She decided on setting that pattern aside for later.
- We decided to celebrate two straight days of hobby activities and enjoyed a bottle of 2025 spiced apple wine. It was really good.
- We had the best night yet on the numbers of fireflies lighting off after dark. Their numbers keep on growing, making all of the trees sparkle with their flashes.
