Hayride

Yesterday evening our Youth Fellowship went on a hayride. Down the ridge here. On down into Sleepy Hollow where we sighted a number of deer. Up and on down to Mt. Hope. Back up along pavement down in the valley. And back up Renk's Hill and up the ridge again.

Afterward we roasted marshmallows over a crackling fire until the mayflies showed up and started swarming all over. (This was around 11 PM.) I never knew before that mayflies are so stupid: swarming and divebombing into the open flame of a garden torch, one after another after another, like nature's own kamikaze insects.
