The heat has brought one positive to dusk in Nashville. Amid all the swarming insects and nuisance flies in the air, the heat has forced legions of lightning bugs out. Even in daylight, they make fleeting appearances.
Last night at sunset, the years of my street hosted hundreds of green blinks.
The humid heat might strain tempers and weaken bodies, but at least I can watch this beauty glow. For as random as their pulsing bioluminescence seems, it moves with undeniably rhythm, not unlike the aurora borealis.
But we don't get that at these latitudes.
