Fireflies

I love living in the east. During the summer, nighttime is magical - all because of the firefly - or "lightning bugs" as I grew up calling them.











When I was little, we'd catch lightning bugs and put them in jars. We'd poke holes in the lid and have these fantastic glowing cylinders!







They are amazing little creatures.





Even now, on a warm summer evening, I love to sit outside, drink some tart lemonade and watch these twinkling bugs transform my yard from ordinary to enchanted.

I remember the first time I saw fireflies after I moved to Virginia. I was simply amazed.
