Still warm here but humidity has gone down some which is nice. Japanese beetles eating up the roses. Never tried a beetle trap since didn’t know if would do more harm than good. Haven’t seen any hummingbirds since late winter. Finally have begun seeing a few butterflies. Lightning bugs quite dramatic at twilight.
Quick overview of the trip– Stayed with Emily and Spence and daughters Lucy who is two, and Susannah who is a few months old. Ate all sorts of freshly made foods at their place on Emily’s parents farm compound. Fresh bread, canned food they canned, chickens they raised.
Adam’s wedding was at Cicotte Park in rural Independence, Indiana; reception was in nearby Attica.
Sunday met with Michelle and Neil and 3 year old Xavier at the zoo, and had fun with the prairie dogs and goats and geese and the like.
Lafayette seemed about the same after three years. Weather was cool, and the rain waited until after I’d left.

rained here all day – spose to do the same all day tomorrow, and the next day and cool – bah! peace, Al
Good living!
Sounds like a pleasant relaxing trip.
Cooled off here and the humidity is finally back to tolerable levels. It was nasty for a while. Sounds like you had a good trip, Wil.
Well humidity doesn’t happen here, but neither do fireflies. I wouldn’t expect Lafayette to change much (I’d be sad if it did). So uhh when are you coming to visit my site? Or us for that matter?
