I have such fond memories of going to an uncles farm, when our girls were little, in Tennessee. Love the fireflies-it was so very fun. I think it brings out the child in all of us. So glad you got to enjoy them. So tell me why you don't go out in the yard at night? I know it's fenced, do you all have snakes in your area? I'm so cautious now at our new home because we have coyotes in the area and I can hear them. Just don't want them to think Hunter is dessert.<br />Hugs, NoreenNanaNor'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608980502430055753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-8117374654602058862014-05-29T13:29:47.032-04:002014-05-29T13:29:47.032-04:00I saw the first ones of the summer here in SC a fe...I saw the first ones of the summer here in SC a few weeks ago, and was so happy :) We would see them in the small Louisiana town I grew up in when I was young, but they had disappeared from there for some reason by the time I left for college :(liparifamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15205794075118001139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-61168958475156166652014-05-29T13:01:39.469-04:002014-05-29T13:01:39.469-04:00That brings back fond memories of my childhood.
