Swimming Hole

I'm guessing there's a sign on the banks saying "Watch out for gators and water moccasins." Mind you, I'm just guessing and my guess is based on nothing more than the stories my mother told me about living in Banana River, Florida in the 1940s.

Those critters might take the fun out of a refreshing summer dip. Such a foreign concept for us northerners.
ReplyDeleteI remember my mother talking about how scared she was to go out back to hang up the laundry. Neighbors warned her to not let the dog get too close to the water because of the gators and to watch out for the snakes in the water and trees.
ReplyDeleteAnd again, the sheer pleasure of being taken for a stroll through an old photograph with you. Delightful.
