Notes from a beautiful place on the planet: part of the driftless area of northwestern Wisconsin at Lake Pepin, where the Mississippi winds beneath limestone bluffs and the night sky is unobscured. Thanks for visiting! ~Uri

Night Lights

Spring's freshness is waning and summer is settling in, bringing new pleasures to our days and nights. Every type of flora and fauna is lush and abundant this year, and Fireflies are no exception.  In our family we call them lightning bugs.

A required event each day after dark is a walk in the meadow to witness the lights twinkling just above the ground and also those twinkling above in our Milky Way galaxy.

I love the blue mason jar with firefly.

I'm going to pick some dandelion greens tonight in Brooklyn.
