Kentucky Color: Hot Grasshopper

2021-09-04 - Adair Co., KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge
On a hot day I spied this grasshopper sitting, or maybe he was standing, in my driveway. I thought maybe he was just resting prior to his next flight on his way to luscious grass just beyond his present position. But then, in nearly the same motion and because of his lack of motion, I wondered if the hot asphalt, scorching sunlight and hot temperatures might have just boiled his cold blooded innards! At any rate, this grasshopper carried me on a trip into my ancient but not so distant past.
