I saw an article the other day that mentioned, “Firefly tourism is booming.”
My first thought was, “Is that really a thing?”
Then my mind wandered to still summer nights.
Chasing fireflies in the backyard.
Catching them in a jar.
Watching them glow.
Magic.
As we head into the weekend here in Michigan, consider chasing a few fireflies.
I spotted them lighting up our yard last weekend.
For a few minutes, it felt like being a kid again.
Sometimes the best moments of summer aren’t planned.
They’re waiting for us just outside the back door.
Embrace the season.
Experience the joy.
And if you need a soundtrack for the evening, here are a few songs inspired by the magic of fireflies:
Your Turn
Did you catch fireflies when you were young?
What’s another summer evening that you loved?
Do you recognize any of the songs on the playlist?
