Fireflies

I guess the summer is starting. Tonight in the park we saw dozens of lightning bugs flitting around. They still keep fairly close to the ground and they're not out in full force yet, but they sure looked pretty all ablinking.

Speaking of summer, the weather has been oppressively nasty all week long. The sky has been smoggy brown with all the soot and smoke that's blowing in from Mexico. The air isn't just humid, it's positively greasy. Tonight was actually better, with a breeze and some cooler air. Maybe that's why the fireflies are flirting around.
