They are two of my favorite creatures, right after all dogs and some cats.
We've had quite a few in our back yard in the past weeks.
The hummingbirds are interested in Bern's flowers.
The fireflies just light up and fly around. I have no idea what they are up to.
I am friends with a couple in Higganum who have hummingbird feeders on their back porch.
I've been there to see dozens of hummingbirds come and go.
Lovely.
I know I've written this before, but I am so repentant for it I'll write it again.
My parents used to let me catch fireflies in our yard and uncle Russel's yard who lived behind us.
I'd put them in a jar with holes punched in the lid and take them to my room when it was time to go to bed.
They would blink as I went to sleep. And in the morning they would all be dead.
I feel so guilty.
I killed lightening bugs, not knowing what I was doing.
It's one of the greatest regrets of my life.
I hope, someday, I can be forgiven by the lightening bug God.
