The fish in my pond are working the top. The mayflies are coming in my house. I have a picture of them mating on my patio. They fly that way. Which one is flying backwards when they are flying? ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/03/full-50176-4127-image.jpg)

That doesnt look like a mayfly too me. But I gotta admit Im pretty impressed. I think it would have been cool to conceive my first child attached to his mother while we did our normal daily routines.
Jane says I've never been in love - no
She don't know what it is
She only knows if someone wants her

What has happed to you does not define who you are-
HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!
