Unofficially Summer

I saw my first lightening bug of the year last night. To me that marks the unofficial start of summer. Just like seeing the first Robin marks the unofficial start of spring.
My fondest memory of lightening bugs goes way back to when I was just a little girl. I was staying on my Aunt's farm for the weekend. We caught a whole jar full of lightening bugs and I wanted to keep them in my room with me. Well they got out during the night and were flying all over the farm house. I laughed so hard at watching my Aunt running around trying to catch all the bugs that I peed myself on her steps.
I still like catching lightening bugs, but I found that it has gotten harder! Seriously, try it and find out for yourself.
