ReplyDeleteMy granny had mint growing around hers. It smelled so good... especially when she'd cut the grass and cut some of that mint. she'd go out and get some for her iced tea! We had a flowing well at our house and it flowed into a dug out area and we would put fish in there. ONe time we had a BIG bass from our pond we caught. We'd feet it frogs, crickets, grasshoppers,etc. One day somebody took that fish!!! funny how we had a fish fry that same day. I never understood as a kid who would have taken that fish!~but some mean ole person sure nuff did.
Oh my this is so cool Kevin, Hi and thank you for stopping by my site, good to see you, and good to know you all are doing well, Do you remember Pastor Chuck and I from Woodbine MBC? We visited you and your family a few times, had some good visits too. I love your blog, this old free flowing well is just beyond words, I love the old time ways, and this sure exhibits it. Hugs my friend, and give your little one and wife our love too.
