Fireflies

It has been so hot that I need to water my garden twice a day.  I have been getting out there in the morning and in the afternoon.  Tonight I was late and the sun was going down as the full moon was rising. 

 Dusk, what a magical time of the day.  I am watering away using in what I think in my head is thousands of gallons of water. 

Then I see something that takes me back to my childhood... fireflies.  The many hours spent at Grandma and Grandpa Shrout's  house hunting fireflies with Aunt Kathy.  Collecting as many as we could into a mason jar.  We were hoping to have enough in the jar to use as a lantern for a late night walk around the river.  The dense "Forest" on the property would take a lot of fireflies.  Kathy played along getting us anything that we needed to do what ever our imaginations would dream up.

I have been blessed to have the opportunity to be "Aunt Kathy" to Kati Ann and Kie.  Soon I will be bless to add Joshua Barrett to the list of little ones that I get to help dream.

I look forward to fireflies and art projects that inspire these little ones to dream.  Sharing God and teaching dreaming both great things to be remembered for.
