Free dragonfly rides!
June 28, 2006
Summertime is not always the best time to come up with informative blog articles, but sometimes imagination comes to the rescue. On Riverside Rambles, following a discussion of blooming mimosa trees in Hannibal, this announcement appeared:
Riverside Rambles: Larry Ayers’ Weblog
Our docile and well-trained dragonfly steeds are outfitted with the ultimate in saddle comfort, and cheery ladybug attendants will bring you nectar and pollen snacks.
Today our journey into the world as seen by our insect friends is an exciting tour of a clump of mimosa flowers. You will be immersed in sheer pinkness! The aroma of the blossoms is intoxicating, I must say. You need not worry about thuggish mosquitoes or sweat bees, as the entire tour takes place within the screened enclosure towards your left.
I’d like to see the dragonfly that carried the camera!
Dave, on a slow day.

Got something to say?
I’m glad you enjoyed the story, Dad! I certainly had a good time writing it.
