Ode to July

Wherein I was offered a promotion but resigned instead, and enrolled in a night course, and updated my resume, and sent out hundreds. Wherein there were rivers, and go-karts, and sunsets, and ice cream, peaches from the farm with the farmer who made us laugh, and lake time, and rice bowls, and homemade vegan lobster rolls, and a female Regal Moth, and wild storms, and a tweet that we loved with the ghost we now blame for all the the things.

 

Firefly Hike at Bland Experimental Farm / State Arboretum

We went on a Firefly hike at Blandy with the delightful Arial Firebaugh, PhD.  It brought back memories of when I won tix to see the Synchronous Fireflies at GSMNP.  S loved that trip!  This morning I traveled back in time in this diary via searching "fireflies" and watched a video of my son catching them when he was a tot.  I'm glad I documented so many family memories, tho it's still somewhat painful.
