These were really pretty, scattered all through the creek bottoms. The wildflowers were difficult to admire, though: mosquitoes kept me hopping and swatting; they were hungry and there were lots of them! They were out day and night, even in the wind, high ground and low, in the bushes or in the open. Bug spray stopped the biting but not the incessant buzzing. When dark came, there were plenty fireflies flickering in the treetops… I always enjoy watching the lightning bugs… simple pleasures for simple minds. I didn’t see any turkey sign or hear any gobbling; the season opens next week. As usual, I don’t find them in the spring but the turkeys walk all ‘round me in the fall, when no hunting is allowed.
