endless summer nights...

Growing up in my house, summer was the absolute best time of the year. Warm summer days, and cool nights, laying out under the stars for hours, kick the can with the neighborhood kids, and catching fireflies in the field behind our house. Tonight, Josh, Jonathan and I went outside after a big thunderstorm. The air was cool, the ground was sopping...and in the empty field across the street from our house, we began to see, "blink...blink...blink..."FIREFLIES!! We tried for a few minutes to catch some, but we weren't quick enough. It's been years since I have seen them...and this was a first for my boys. What a special treat and one of the great memories I have of growing up in our house in the country!
