Fireflies

Today, as we came home from the dome site just at dusk, the kids suddenly started yelling as they piled out of the truck. "Mom! Dad! Fireflies!" Yes, we had our First Firefly Sighting of the Year. Ali ran into the kitchen & grabbed an empty mayonnaise jar, so they could briefly capture the First Lightning Bug of 2005 and admire its luminous glory for a few minutes, before letting it go on about its important bug business. Summer is officially here.
