as i sat doing my life journal tonight i heard it start to rain, again. this time it is a gentle rain, no wind. nice change.
i looked out the window & saw a lightning bug.
that isn't something you see everyday in imperial. have you noticed that? i grew up around here, where i remember plenty of nights getting our jars to catch lightning bugs at night. mom & dad would help us poke holes in the lids so they could breathe. we would wipe their glowing guts on us so we had glowing spots. ok, i don't personally remember doing that, but i'm sure someone i knew did. if you don't mind bug guts i'm sure it is pretty cool to look at it glowing on your skin.
it must be the humidity here. i'm sure maybe right near enders lake or a pond or something, maybe there are lightning bugs. but, i don't think i remember ever seeing them in the 10 years we were there.
ok, those of you with ponds on your land or who spend time at the lake--are they there?
