Katydids, Perseids, and Jason Aldean

Guess which one I got to see.....

The kids went to the Jason Aldean concert at SPAC though, or at least Liz and Alan and their significant others did, while Becky, the boss and I stayed home and did chores and milking.

Somebody's gotta. 

The concert attendees raved about the show. Both of ours said that Jason Aldean was the best performer they had ever seen. Considering that they had lawn seats, where the drooling drunks and druggies do their best to wreck the experience for those around them, that is saying something.

For me my favorite concert will continue to be Emerson Drive at Fonda Fair. We had 3rd row seats, they put on a fantastic show, and it was a whole lot of fun. I actually had to be dragged to the fair to see it, to keep Becky happy, but was a devoted fan by the end of the first song.

Since that night the girls and I have been to two other states to hear them again....and you know how often I leave the farm.....however, even they have never topped that night.

As for the Perseids, alas, it was still a tad too light in the west when I went to bed last night and already a bit light in the east when I got up this morning. No meteor shower for me.

Oh, well, there is no shortage of katydids. They are calling all around us, including this one on a lily pad in the garden pond. And I have been having fun feeding Japanese beetles to the chickens. I wonder.....they changed the name of English sparrows to house sparrows to be more politically correct. I wonder how long it will take to change the beetles to Asian beetles, or Pacific beetles, or blasted pest beetles....
