Parks offer DIY summer activities
South Bend Tribune
One glory of these warm summer days is that you can hang out by riverbanks for long, lazy hours to spy on the strange little creatures spinning their legs through the clear shallows. Or listen for a splash, then look to see who or what did that.
Or simply ponder how many kinds of leafy plants shade and shelter you from the chaos of civilization.
And if you have a homemade dipnet with nothing more than a stick, coat hanger, pantyhose and duct tape you can scoop up a bizarre looking friend.
