What bugs me

Yes, it's time for my annual bug post. This time it's mostly good news.

During the past week, our early morning group runs took us to Lake Medina, Mugrage County Park, and the Lester Rail Trail. Since we just had our Summer Solstice, the days have been long, and it's been quite light, even early in the runs. But, I've learned, if you start early enough - like before 5:00 A.M., you can still find some darkness.

Why look for darkness, you ask? To see the fireflies, of course. This week, they were the best at Lake Medina, where they lit the way for us, especially on the lower level, close to the woods. Seeing them makes the run what I would call enchanting.

And we can all use a little enchantment now and then.
