Dragonfly Memories

Finally stopping to rest and enjoy the day. Watching the dragonflies swoop over the pond brought back a vivid memory. I was terrified of dragonflies when I was little. I don't remember if we were at the Head's cottage or the Barker cottage but a huge dragonfly landed on me and I went running down the dock back to shore yelling. I'm sure it wasn't the first time that day cause Dad stopped me rather exasperated with the drama. He snatched the bug off me and held it in his hand and told me to look it it. After that day I was no longer afraid of them. I sure wish he was sitting here with me watching them dance over the water.
