10,000 fireflies

Mermaid showed me the firefly outbreak.

June 30, 2023

Last night, I experienced a remarkable phenomenon in my front yard. It was @maximillian_deersteak who alerted me to it. We were in the garage, preparing to enter the house, when she exclaimed “Look, fireflies!” I turned, and after my eyes adjusted, I saw hundreds of small faint green sparks flashing across from our garage, in the trees and bushes across the road. They were beautiful, and became easier to see after we turned out our lights.

We remained in the garage for a while, just admiring them. They were emitting light on and off, communicating with each other. I wondered what they were saying. Maybe they were courting, or just signaling to one another.



I felt privileged to see these incredible insects in my yard and I hope they will reappear again tonight.

Roanoke

The mill mountain star, highly stylized


You are a city of wonders
A city of contrasts
A city of dreams
You have the old and the new
The classic and the modern
The historic and the futuristic
You have the mountains and the river
The green and the blue
The natural and the urban
You have the people and the culture
The diversity and the unity
The community and the individuality
You are a city of wonders
A city of contrasts
A city of dreams

Closet organizing, check!



Today I finally got around to organizing my clothes in the closet. We had been living in our new home for a few days, but I hadn’t found the time or energy to do it. I had just dumped all my clothes in the living room from the uhaul and left them there. It was a mess and it bothered me every time I looked at it.

I decided to take action today and get to work on putting stuff where it belongs. I also made sure to fold them neatly and arrange them by color and type in my closet. It felt good to see some order in there.

I have considerably less space in there now. I can’t believe how many tshirts I own, let alone collared shirts and business attire. I am probably due to try some of them on to see if they still fit well, since I haven’t worn a necktie since covid, let alone a suit. Who knows if I will ever wear some of these things again? I am probably due another sort to keep / donate / trash.

Additional upside, I’ve found a few nice shirts that I had forgotten.

Current mood: accomplished
Current music: Housework – The B-52’s
