description. *Is there still any light left in the sky? *What color is

No fireflies, how sad - anything that only comes out to play at night?

Bats, owls, skunks, raccoons and possums, but no fireflies. We don't
get them here in Oregon either. If I had a bucket list, then seeing
fireflies in person would be on it. I've read about them in books,
seen them on TV documentaries and visited back East in months of
August and September, but have never seen them "for real". DH, of
course, being a male, tells of how he and his brothers/friends used to
smear them on their Tshirts when they (the boys) were little so that
their shirts would have little glow-in-the-dark smudges all over them.
Gross, but not surprising. :-))

I paid attention tonight as we were dining al fresco in Leesburg.

It makes a difference which direction you are facing. North and south
are sort of the same. East is very dark. And west is the most
beautiful of all. How about starting with a lighter blue at the bottom
and working up it gets darker?

Liz, that just might be a great on off/off topic thread - personal bucket
lists.


And back in the day, I'd have done that too!

Must have been warmer than here - we actually shut all the windows last
night

Perfect! - might take a lot of blending fibers, but that's exactly right, I
need to fade into night!


I'll try and finish the leaf and ladybug today (have tons of laundry to get
done that is needed tomorrow AM) Then place the firefly butts (that¹s the
part that glows)

Then start fading into night! I suspect I have a find a different stitch -
I've been using Pavilions but since I'll be adding/ changing thread colors
a lot more, it won't work as well.

Maybe it was too late. We only see them here in June & early July.
