Count Down Continues-Cool Summer Nights and Lighting Bugs

Nothing beats relaxing on the front porch on a cool summer night in June. The afternoon humidity made the heat unbearable, but when the sun starts to go down it cools the air making outside the only place to be. Of coarse everyone is out on their front porch or out walking so you end up hailing the Buena Vista wave (see previous post) all night long, but that really doesn't bother you. It is like a scene off of the Andy Griffith Show (the all time best t.v. series ever!) Dinner is over and the dishes are put away everyone sitting on the front porch swing, rocker, steps, or bench. All that is missing is someone strumming their guitar (said with a southern accent) I've always said there are two kind of people: back yard people and front yard people. Well, The whole Buena Vista City are front yard people. June happens to be the best time relax in the evening because the kids are entertained by running around the grass in pursuit of lightning bugs. Jared and Anna have fallen asleep to many a lightning bug glowing in a jar by their beds. Lighting bugs (or fireflies what ever you know them by) simply make me smile. I don't know why, but nothing beats sitting on the front porch on a cool summer night waving to the neigh boors while watching your kids giggle like kids in a candy shop as they chase after lightning bugs.
