    He's on the side of my canner. I thought it was a neat background for the picture. Looks like snow.

    Donna--It does look like snow. I take it that your canner is the black with white speckles kind?

    I agree with Barb, that bug looks like it would have a nasty bite!

    The deer flys seem to like to bite my husband and my labs nose when we lived in the country....we haven't had many around since we moved.
