get out the jam jars

The first firefly. I just saw it, just, scooting low over a patch of clover, winking in chartreuse.

So. It's official: summer is here.

  1. at first i thought you were talking about the show firefly, and you had just seen the first episode. then i got confused by words. then my brain started working and reminded me that you are a writer and use colorful language. then i figured out what you were talking about. thank you for jump-starting my noggin.

  2. you're welcome. :)

    so yes, to clarify: this is a post about a bug. the first bug of summer. the real thing, with wings and all those little tickly legs that rocket us back to childhood...

    but a bug nonetheless. :)
