And then tonight around 10:00 pm I felt a strong need to sit on the deck in the dark...barefoot, in my nightshirt. There were stars where I'd expected clouds...and a breeze to keep the mosquitoes away. And lightning bugs way up in the treetops. After a few minutes, some came down lower. One chased around above the rockery on the bank. I love where I live in the middle of the woods. Spent a bit of time this afternoon on a lounge chair in the hemlock "room" on the bank out back behind the flower beds. I think there's another branch to come down, but I can do it. Sometime this summer. I read...and enjoyed the view of the sky between the tree tops. And my flower beds. And the woods down the slope. Goodnight... Linn
