That is a good one. Sorry I wasn't able to come to Aullwood. I have been all sorts of busy, and away. It would have been nice to see you and the lovely Mrs. Ric. Julie must know what that water beetle is. I never saw one like that!
Word verification: yermske. She got sick because she caught some yermske.

I'll send Julie the photo to get a positive id;-)
Sounds like a nasty disease, yermske..
