After we realized she had no idea what lightning bugs were, we got glass jars with lids and we all went out into the back yard and showed her how we would spend summer evenings when we were kids, from dusk until bedtime, filling our jars with blinking insects. We had a ball. It was like we were kids again. And what would gloaming of a summer evening be without the mysterious cry of the whippoorwill or the plaintive call of the hoot owl?
