Nu and I picked At up from work and went to FedEx to get pics for their Indian visas. I was so happy to have them both with me, I was being silly behind the photographer--making funny faces and tap dancing. At promptly got a fit of the giggles, but Nu who had to take their glasses off for the picture, couldn't see me at all, and managed to keep a straight face in the picture.
When At, Nu, and I took Max and Huck for a walk around the back... fireflies! Their appearance is so magical every year. And this year, because I've been taking baby pee-pee pants Max out so much, I haven't missed a single day of their joy-inducing luminosity.
When I dropped At off around eleven, there were fireworks in the sky as we drove through old town in Lansing--I'm glad I got to see them even if a day late--I guess I had missed their fiery simulation of all my favorite things (like flowers, like stars) yesterday after all.

Fireflies! I haven't seen one yet, but I'll keep my eye out. I saw the first flower on a cup plant this morning, though, so summer is really progressing!
We've had smoke a few days this summer and I could only smell it once. I find it hard to take the precautions you're supposed to when it just looks like a hazy day, but I'm trying to get in the habit of checking the AQI because it is dangerous when it gets up to a certain level.
Fireflies don't live up here, and I remember the first time I saw them - in Mexico! - and it was so magical.
NGS: LMK when you see fireflies. I know we're neighbors, so it can't be long now...
StephLove:I pay attention because At has severe asthma, but the report on the radio recommended *everyone* limit their outdoors time!
Nicole: I'm so happy you got to see fireflies. But I didn't realize there were places in the world without fireflies--a bit sad about that.
Nice fireworks.
