They were everywhere and came in nice sizes. I began catching them and keeping them. I don't know if I fancied myself as a keeper in a grasshopper zoo or what, but I would spend lengths of time just watching them and studying the amazing structure of their bodies. It was another instance of reaffirmation of the amazingness of God's creation.<br /><br />The guy washing his car with the bathing trunks sounds so California. He must be a transplant from out here.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br />A to Z Challenge Co-host<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8291778831034971277.post-32106582382290165202015-09-15T06:45:15.230-05:002015-09-15T06:45:15.230-05:00I hadn't thought of that.
