Awaiting Summer

The fireflies made their inaugural appearance in New Jersey last night, and then buzzed away as we lit a fire and gazed into the night sky.
.
Hope your long weekend is filled with little moments that clear your mind and lift your spirit.
.
Take a moment on Monday and honor the soldiers we have lost and a prayer to bring those fighting, safely home to the families who wait.
.
Kiss the ones you love and take them out for ice cream,
xoSherry

Thanks Sherry....man that is an awesome picture. Did you take that? I love it! Haven't seen any here yet, but soon.

Today is yard work, tomorrow is play and Monday the parade and service in the park.

Wow, Sherry..I miss fireflies! I grew up not far from New Jersey and fireflies are a wonderful summer time memory. They haven't seemed to find their way to the other side of the country where I live now, I always enjoy seeing your blogposts..and wish you a fine weekend, too.

Love the photo! I grew up in Massachusetts where we called these little insects fireflies... but here in the south, they're known as lightning bugs. Thanks for your always-special reminders, Sherry.

Since moving from NY state to Nova Scotia I forgot about the fireflies. I loved that. Maybe they like the heat. No problem on the ice cream.

I was just thinking fireflies! It's always a celebration here when they come out. We saw the first about a week ago, and I've a number of firefly pendants I need to photograph and list as soon as my shop opens again.

Sweet post.
