Early Firefly

I will digress from school and educational issues for this blog entry. The fireflies, or at least one, are out. Last night we saw one flashing outside our back deck windows. This sure has been a spring that has blown away all past notions of earliness that I have formed over my lifetime. April 14 has not even been close to being associated with Lightning Bugs. In my mind, the end of June, or the Fourth of July, is associated with firefly season, not mid-April. I guess we need to get the hummingbird feeders out of the storage bin, in case their arrival is a couple of weeks early!
