There is something magical & quixotic about a warm summer night filled with fireflies. Something that calls to the child within to find the world resplendent with magic & fairies. The west coast doesn't get fireflies, so it wasn't until we moved to the Midwest that we discovered how simply lovely the world is when filled w fireflies. I'm so grateful my children live in a land covered with magical creatures. Where the innocence of catching a firefly in your hand, even briefly, is wondrous & thrilling. The squeals & giggles pervade even though my children are growing up. Granted I don't see Kier out there chasing them like he used to & Liam cannot get out & about in our backyard due to access issues but he likes to watch his siblings chase them & catch them & bring them to him so he can see them light up, up close. McKenna, though she is 13 going on 14, and younger brother Nolan, almost 11, love to follow the little bugs aro
