Gratitude Monday: night lights

Summer in the South comes with temperatures in the 90s, matched by humidity creeping into the 90s as well. And things don’t cool down or dry out much at night, which you can count on in California.

But along with those humid evenings comes something I’ve never seen in the Golden State: fireflies.

Last year, in the Arlington highrise, I didn’t see any of them, but now, they flit about my patio right outside my sliding door. Sometimes they’ll even crawl up the glass, as though trying to get a good look at my décor.

Here are a couple of clips—you do have to look carefully to see them, but they’re there.



They only seem to appear around dusk, but I’m so grateful to have them here, for however long they choose to stay.
