Childhood memories.

Catching lightning bugs was so much fun.

1. It was great, wasn't it?

I only got talked into squeezing one to make a glow ring around my finger one time. Ugh.

Do kids do stuff like this anymore? Fly june bugs on a string? Make clover flower chains for a necklace? Lay back on the grass and decipher the shapes of clouds?

2. Making clover chains and watching clouds was a favorite pastime.

I never heard of flying june bugs on a string. There must be a video for that.

The kids I know now are growing up in the the city with little opportunity to experience what we knew.

3. I have fond memories of chasing and capturing lightning bugs as an adult when I was

living in South Dakota!
