Things went in to cute overload, last night

I stepped out to the back yard just before dark. There were fireflies. There were kidcats. That added up to kidcats watching, leaping and chasing after the fireflies. It was absolutely magical to watch.

We kept the cats in.
One of them has taken to defending us against all winged invaders!
They are smart enough not to go afterthe skunks.

Saw them this morning while pruning the elderberry bushes.

You’re always ahead…so thanks for the heads up. Bet that was a beautiful sight…so simple and innocent.

My mechanic doesn't do electrical so I'm waiting on a call back from a place he recommended. There's a possibility I might have to have it towed, if he can even work on it. It's a 2002 Saturn. Just over 100,000 miles on it. It's not a good day.
