Catch the Light

What fun we had as children!  We spent hours chasing "Lightning Bugs" (also called "Fireflies" in other parts of the world.)  We made houses for them, kept them in quart jars, brought them into the house in the darkest corner to see how bright our collection jar had become.  We had contests to see who could catch the most, and fights over who claimed the one we each saw at the same time.

Now I watch my grandchildren doing the same thing, and bringing me happy memories of days long gone...
