Fireflies?

I just realized that I have not seen a single firefly all summer long. Has nonstop 100+ degrees every day scared them off?

I miss the fireflies. Little sparks of magic at dusk.

I miss them here in the summer. When I imagine raising kids who will never know the wonders of catching fireflies in their hands, watching them glow, and then letting them go... it's very strange. Well, that's if I stay here. :P

Oddly, I never saw one as a kid. In fact, I never saw one until we moved to Delaware for a time. I was about 30 at the time. I went on and on about how beautiful they are in wonder, and Dean went out one night and caught me one in a jar as a surprise. Best gift ever. We let it go, of course, but still. Best gift ever. :)

We've had a few, but just a few.

Fireflies are one of my favorite parts of summer. We've definitely had them this year, though I think not as many as in other years.
