This evening I took my dog Brea (she’s a Westhighland White Terrior, Westie for short) for walk because the weather has been absolutely gorgeous the past 3 days but with studying for exams, I haven’t been able to take much advantage. So this afternoon I made up my mind to get home right after school and take Brea out for at least 2 hours.  There are so many other dogs in my neighborhood that I have to keep mine in a harness and on a short lease when we go for a walk.

On the way back home with Brea I noticed there were lightning bugs everywhere.  They were coming up from the ground in huge numbers. I didn’t realize they stayed in the ground during the day.  Anyway, it was like a bunch of different strands of Christmas lights strung out across the field and through the trees. It was almost breathtaking to see the hundreds of twinkling lights along the ever darkening horizon.
