Highland Fireflies

Legend has it that there is only one place west of the Mississippi where you can find fireflies. And that place is right in our backyard...
I don't know if the legend is true or not but the kids couldn't wait to catch them. A few years ago the kids caught fireflies when we had a family reunion in Virginia. Then when we moved here the neighbors started talking about the fireflies down by the river. Nine months later the kids decided to see if they could find any. It was so neat to see them get excited and to watch the fireflies light up in the jar. It reminded me of when I was little...catching fireflies on a hot summer night...
