nature’s delights

it is 9:30 at night as i type this. for 20 minutes i have been looking out my windows at the deepening darkness of the woods that surround our house because there is a firefly light show in progress. we usually get fireflies this time of year, but never in the quantity we are experiencing this year. i don’t know what conditions have coalesced to make such a spectacle. but i’m just happy to be here. it’s my kind of 4th of july celebration
