Smart firefly! These are all good pieces of advice 🙂
I love these Advice pieces from NWF.
Spent part of this morning recalling my own version of fireflies. Perfect post, Nancy. Enjoy your family time.
We had a few firefly lit nights. We don’t get many in Florida (if any). Fun to watch them.
Glow-on – have a wonderful time, Nancy!
🙂
Thanks, SIG! It’s great to be back on Terra Firma after 13 days away.
Lovely 🙂 I have very rarely seen fireflies. I think that now I shall have to google a few on YouTube. They seem like excellent role models.
We don’t have many in Florida . . . so it was nice watching them in New Jersey this past week and a half.
When I was a kid the summer evenings were filled with fireflies! I rarely see any now–but maybe fireflies don’t like the heat and humidity of where I live now. I miss ’em.
I haven’t seen many/any in Florida. It may be that cooler environments appeal to them . . .
Ha, I announced today, that I am going to be li-ghter as I tense up sometimes when doing projects, no need to unnecessary create tension. Smart firefly. 🙂
That’s a BRIGHT idea! 💡
When I was 3 or 4 we would catch the fire flies and put them in jars. The idea was to catch enough to make a lantern. They never lasted long. Musta ran out of electricity or propane.
Was that in Florida, Carl? I haven’t really seen any since moving here.
I don’t think it is the heat and humidity that explains the missing fireflies…I grew up in NYC…lots of heat and humidity there…and summer evenings were FILLED with fireflies…I remember catching them in my hands and seeing their glow in the darkness of the evening. Pollution, maybe. 😦
I’ve heard it said that we should remain childlike (as opposed to childish) all of our lives…I’m trying. 🙂 Great thoughts, Nancy!
Our inner child remains a steadfast ally . . . waiting for us to let him/her out to PLAY.
Beautiful post that makes me want to sparkle like a firefly and to see that same sparkle in those around me!
We enjoyed watching the fireflies dancing in the evening skies this past week. Definitely adds a bit of sparkle to the gray of twilight skies.
good job! love those little flies – like magical dust lighting the way to a secret world.
Yes! Well put, Joss.
