Thanks for your visit and kind comments....Hi Henny,<br />Thanks for your visit and kind comments. <br />Must admit I have never seen a grasshopper trap, but that is so cool and the memories associated with it are even cooler.<br />I'm a bit envious of your blueberries. I've been trying to grow them for years with no success. I even have one in a patio pot that I'm babying along. It looks healthy as can be, but no berries.

Very complicated looking-----sort of like those string games that we used to play----what was it called Cat in a Cradle, Cat's Cradle or was that the name of one of the figures that you could come up with if you were good at it. I generally just came up with a knotted together mess.<br /><br />Your Mama sounds like she was a lot of fun.vichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18428581552807859803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541568171657986.post-56137082243240064242015-05-30T12:01:22.474-07:002015-05-30T12:01:22.474-07:00I've never seen a grass-hopper trap.
