Little things

Posted in Fluffy Musings at 7:08 pm by Mina

Like lightning bugs. When was the last time you sat outside and watched a lightning bug? Do you even know what a lightning bug is? I had just about forgotten about them until I saw one tonight. It’s been- hmm, maybe 8 years? maybe more?- since the last time I saw a lightning bug.

Makes me wonder. Are lightning bugs less common in Massachusetts than they were down in PA? Or is it just that I’m never outside at that right time of evening, due to work or games or just the fact that I don’t go outside as much as I did when I was younger? Sometime before the summer is over I think I shall have to sit in the backyard and see if there are bunches of them flashing out there.

    I’d guess it’s because you grew up in the country and now live in the city. There’s a fair bit less wildlife around you now.
