Guess what we have in our front yard!!! Yes! Fireflies - or Lightning Bugs as the locals call them. We saw them last night when arriving home at dusk. Larry and I are so excited that we're like little kids. We can hardly wait until dusk tonight to see them again. Our friends, Carl and Karen stopped by today for a visit and they think we're silly to be so excited; perhaps you think so too. But, considering there were no Fire..., uh' em, I mean, Lightning Bugs where we grew up, we think this is pretty cool.
The only other time we've seen them like this was outside Chicago while camping at a state park near Algonguin. It was cool then too.
Larry was saying that it's the little things like Lightning Bugs, the many songbirds and the Dogwoods in our neighborhood that make this such a very nice place to live. He is so right! We feel blessed.
We do too. :)
