hope this works...

First video posting...ever.

Fireflies are magical. They remind me of fairies. One followed us in the house and was flying around the kitchen blinking and then it got lost. So then Cas said that we should just let Max take care of him. And i almost cried because killing a firefly is like pulling the wings off a fairy (those are my sister's words). So then I made him stand in the dark with me until we found him. And Cas caught him and tossed him outside.

as I wait till dusk...

I saw a firefliy the other morning in the daylight, as I was leaving for work.

This is what they look like:

They have arrived.

This week marks the beginning of firefly (lightning bug) season.
I have been waiting for this since we moved here and I found out that they live here.
But there are only a couple. When it gets warmer more will be here (they have to wake up from winter sleeps).
Cas humored me and went outside at dusk and he caught one, then it got mad stopped glowing and then flew away (angrily).
I had my camera and tried to take a video, but he was too little and i couldn't find him. I will need more fireflies and more nighttime before having to go to bed to get to work.
Stay tuned for more firefly news.

WWFFD?

I have found out that it should only be a few more weeks until the fireflies are here. I am so excited!

But work is rough. There is a lack of everything: caring, consideration, work ethic, and so much more. I have been having troubles keeping calm and not losing it. So I have developed a new way of thinking.

Everytime I start to get upset, I just think WWFFD. Yes, What would the fireflies do? And it reminds me that they are coming, and instantly I am happier and more calm.

WWFFD.
