like ethereal will o' wisps except they're bugs  — 1 month ago

I suppose really I do this every summer, but the changeling and I went about it more seriously the other night, and since then I keep having lightning bugs coming up to me all the time, so I suppose I’ll be catching them all summer now…

Great time with the kids. Always let the fireflies free after the night catching is done.

It’s one of those simple things of life you just got to do. :)
But they’re really not so pretty in the morning…just so ya know.

When my sister and I were little we used to run among stately pine trees at dusk chasing after these elusive bugs. We did catch some and put them in jars once or twice, but mostly we just scampered after them in childlike wonder. On rare instances now I’ll see them at night and think back to those long ago days.

We did this one Summer  — 1 year ago

back in Ohio and put them in a jar. I was 12 and I did not think that they were real until I saw them. We played badminton with “birdies” made sugar cookies and ate marshmallows right out of the bag. My Uncle was a policeman and had this cool retired police dog, Elmer. He would tell it to secure the house and it would run from door to door them sit right next to him. He would tell him to sing and he would howl it was so funny :)

Even though its not summer yet. Oh well.
I used to catch ‘em when I lived in VA I would let them free in my house. My dad hated that. Heehee.
