Janie, welcome to one of the most pleasant parts of summer in these eastern and southern parts! Lightning bugs are such a delight!

LH, you need to be careful about introducing rodents into the discussion here. Did I tell you that my dog caught a rat last week? Good sized one, maybe 12 ounces. She stashed it in her bed in the garage and when I came out to feed them she went inside to get it and present to me. Still very fresh, not stiff. Now that is a generous pooch! Only slobbered on a little, no visible bites (probably shaken). Just so your poopoo name-callers know.
