Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for June 21, 2013

Awww!! I have yet to see a lightening bug. We don’t have them in Ca. One more thing on the bucket list.

I’m from So Cal and had never seen them, either! Then I got stationed in Austin, TX. They are lovely! The first thing I thought? Disney got it right in the Pirates ride, during the quiet Bayou section. They look just like that!

Why wish for something when it’s readily available?

Are Rose and Jimbo wishing they could get to sleep?

Like Rose and Jimbo, I really don’t need a wish when I’m with my lover. Fireflies were fun when I was a kid tho’

I used to see tons of fireflies, but lately they seem to have disappeared. Where did all the fireflies go?

My yard is FULL of them. I even saw one in the daytime yesterday. I always get so excited when I see the first one of the season. Happy first day of Summer everyone.

i honestly don’t remember if ive seen fireflies or not

Fireflies are not as abundant in my part of Pennsylvania as they used to be. With the declining bat population, I believe they are making a comeback this year however.

I’ve only seen fireflies in movies and on TV since we don’t have any in Utah.

bluemoon77: Well, there was the one that disappeared when a gecko on my window ate it, but was visible for almost a minute flashing through the gecko’s translucent skin.

I remember them when I was growing up in a a suburb of Philadelphia, but we called them “lightning bugs” not “firefiles”.

The only time I don’t like to see them is when they are dead in my kitchen sink. It makes me sad.
