Welcome side effects
Jun. 24th, 2013 11:04 pmAll that neglect of my lawn and all the rain we've been getting may well get the credit for the magical experience of walking outside a few minutes ago. Fireflies! Not just a blink here and another blink over there, flash, flash, blink, blink, blink, blink, flash, blink, blink...times 20 or more. A veritable light show. Fireflies in front of me, to my left, to my right, way up high and right down low.
Fireflies reportedly like moist soil, and they don't care for suburban lawns.
The Boston Museum of Science has been running a nationwide Firefly Watch since 2008. I first read about it a couple of years ago. Tonight, I'm more tempted than ever to sign up, but the last thing I need is another ongoing commitment to flake on. Maybe after I manage to write more than one letter of comment in a year, and paint the stairwell that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
elaine_brennan and I stripped the wallpaper off of when I moved in 9 years ago. Yeah, then.
In the meantime, their virtual habitat shows various blink patterns and colors of Massachusetts fireflies. It's not as relaxing as the real thing, but it's pretty neat nonetheless.
