it was circa a year ago today that i started a thread about the fireflies that delight texans this time of year.
they are back.
maggie saw her very first fireflies tonight... she startled and tried to chase them at first, but seemed to immediately recognize that they were Good Magic and not to be messed with.
my husband and i were ankle deep in lawn that he'd just mowed a week ago, and the fireflies at twilight were everywhere, like mother nature's pre-summer softly- glowing night lights.
magical.
shiner, maggie and i squatted near a copse of grass with a firefly in it that radiated green blinking light off and on like a promise.
there are things of beauty all around us.
sometimes we just have to look. :)
