Yay for fireflies

[moonwise]

Last night, we took our lawn chairs out to a viewing spot for the fireworks that end the Music at Moorland show. There were hundreds of fireflies in the trees, twinkling like Christmas lights.

I love fireflies. What's not to like about them?

They don't bite.

They are cute.

If you are gentle when you catch one, you can pet it.

Their butts light up.

It's such a nice indicator of summer when they show up, and so sad when you don't see them any more because it's getting to be fall.

I remember how much I loved to watch the fireflies (aka lightning bugs) in my backyard when I was younger. Most of them were yellow, but it was always a special feeling when I saw a green one or an orange one.

Pair that with the smell of a grill an oh mah gah it takes me back.

Ah, summer.
