Did you know that the original name for the NFL Philadelphia Eagles was the Frankford Yellow Jackets? Frankford is a neighborhood section of lower northeast Philadelphia. This is an interesting write.

I find all of God creatures amazing, though pesty at times, yet the wonderment overweighs. The bugs are bad this year in Ohio because we only had a few freezes and it didn't kill the insects from last year, enjoyed your lil' poem. Cindy
