dragonfly 

when we were kids my leetle brahther and i had a baby-sitter who would come watch us during the summer because dad worked 3rd (so he was sleeping all day) and mom was going to college. the sitter’s name was Mrs. Owens and she was approximately 400 years old. give or take a few years. she was a nice, old, southern lady, and i remember she was usually humming a hymn or something. she knew a lot about plants and trees. since we lived near a creek (well, ditch, is probably more like it.) we’ve always had tons of dragonflies in the summer. Mrs. Owens always called them Snake Doctors.

did you know that dragonflies can’t walk?
