And they had to be the toughest humans ever born. I am constantly in awe of those pioneers. Were they crazy? Hell yes!

Very evocative. <br /><br />When we visited the Hofwyl-Broadfield plantation house on the Georgia coast, the volunteer guide suggested that Florida is only inhabited in the summertime because of modern air-conditioning. He said that without it nobody would live there. I remembered that clearly.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-1603664723814147742018-05-22T11:26:06.446-04:002018-05-22T11:26:06.446-04:00Can you imagine what it must have been like to liv...Can you imagine what it must have been like to live in Florida before air conditioning? I don't know how my ancestors did it, either. It's so strange to be in England now. The bugs are so polite and mild here. They barely even come inside!<br /><br />Glad you got some walking in, unpleasant as it may have been at times. And I'm glad Mick is continuing to improve!

I'm so glad they're more careful these days (at least, I hope they are). Last night after several days of rain we saw the first lightning bugs of the season. I worry about them and the honeybees and all the other little creatures that might be harmed right along with the !@*$ mosquitoes.
