The fireflies were amazing last night. The back yard, the marsh, and the trees on the opposite side were full of them. Every once an a while something would stir them up, deer walking around perhaps, and their flashing numbers would increase. I stood in the dark and watched them for about a half hour.
There were no fireflies where I used to live. I would see them occasionally at campgrounds but never like I see them here. It was magic the first time I saw them all over my yard, thirteen years ago, right after I moved in. Maybe it's all the rain we have been having that made their show so incredible last night!

OH ! Yes. The Mister & me came home Saturday night after visiting a friend on Balch Lake and the fireflies were incredible !! It is magic. I can envision tiny nightsprites dancing their ritual summer dance among the tall grasses and wildflowers in the backyard.
