Oh! I saw my first fireflies of the year last night. 🙂 ❤ South of the city. They’ve been my favorite harbinger of summer since I was just about 18 and they would silently glitter en masse around Lake of the Woods in Orange County, VA. They were like a broad blanket of blinking emerald stars that caressed the darkened treeline.
Fireflies are the Green Lantern Corps of the insect universe, people. Respect them.
I’m relaxing with the “Twin Peaks” soundtrack this Sunday afternoon; it was a favorite for Kathleen Nolan.
Once upon a time, when she was preparing a quite difficult teenager in Lake-of-the Woods, VA, for college, it was one of the few things that we could agree on. (Another that year was Garrison Keillor’s “A Prairie Home Companion” on cassette tape.)
