About this episode
“Lightning Bugs” by Steve Adams
My friend’s son just graduated from kindergarten and saw me doing
yard work. The next thing I heard was this little guy voice asking, “Mr.
Steve, what are you doing?” I had to chuckle under my breath.
I have been showing him how to identify Dogwood, Sassafras and
Hickory trees and, as he wandered over, I took a leaf and asked him
what tree that was from. Questioningly, his reply was, “Dogwood??”
Then, in typical little boy character, he was running off to catch a bug
he saw flying and returned a few minutes later proudly showing me a
lightning bug.
We laughed over catching them and he wondered if he caught a “whole
bunch”, could use them as a night light. Instantly, I was transported
back to my own childhood and fondly remembered spending countless
summer evenings on the farm doing and wondering the same thing.
Sometimes, it is nice to stop the busy schedules and let an aspiring first
grader remind me of the finer and simpler pleasures of life.
