I just had the most amazing experience -- I looked out the sliding glass door and saw fireflies -- a bunch of them and finally I went outside.

As much as I want to move, living out here, with the acrage and the woods and lack of light it makes magic. Hundreds of fireflies all through the back, into the woods, flashing and twinkling like a bath full of glitter. It's just so amazing. I don't remember it being like this when I was a kid, but by the time we moved out here I was bit past the age to chase fireflies. Or I wasn't allowed to stay up this late.

But it's beautiful and I wish I could show you all. I can understand why people believe in fairies.

I wish I could get a picture of it, but it's impossible.

I've seen displays like that at my sister's--a house several miles out in the country with no light pollution, surrounded by acres of farmland and woods.

It really is breathtaking when you see it. It takes me back to childhood when catching fireflies was our favorite activity come sundown.
