I am enchanted by your wild yard and beautiful fireflies! I enjoy them so much - they will be later to twinkle here in Maine, and smallish in numbers for so many reasons, but absolutely magical and we look forward to them every year 💕
Loved this essay a lot! I have not seen fireflies (I also called them lightning bugs as a kid) in my neighborhood but I have come across them during the day time a few times, just perched on leaves. I'm sorry you missed the celestial events recently but there are always little delights to find elsewhere.
Great reflection on the first lightning bugs of the season, MK. And the importance of wildness. I've also been seeing a few in the trees in my yard in Monticello. I hope as time goes on, more folks will learn to let the leaves be. This reminds me of a glowbug hike I went on last June in Otto, NC (just over the state line from Clayton, GA). Up in a little mountain valley there, far removed from artificial light, the bugs put on a fabulous show. One of the coolest things I've seen.

Thank you... and yes, they are magical.
So beautiful. ❤️
Thank you

Congratulations on the new book!
Thank you, and I hope you catch a glimpse of the fireflies this summer.
