Observation #444
Hello! Summer's greetings! Well, almost! This Wednesday is the Summer Solstice and the official first day of Summer!
With that, I herald my first sightings/sounds of my favorite bugs of summer.
On our walk this evening my family heard our first sounds of cicadas!
Side note, at the beginning of our walk, my son said he hoped to see some owls. We have never seen owls on our walk before, but at the last stretch of our walk we heard a Great Horned Owl hoot! He/She even answered our return hoot! Summer sounds abound!
My mom saw her first lightning bug on May 28. I hardly go out at night at this point in my life and am usually so sleepy after finally getting the kids to bed that I don't even look outside. So my first lightning bug sighting was about a week ago.

two things
I saw my first lightning bug of the summer last night. I have been documenting these first sightings for awhile now. I don't know what I expect to do with this knowledge, but I save the calendars with my nature observations anyway. While searching through Google images for lightning bugs, I came across this blog.
And this drawing...
The blogger, one Margaret Huber, draws on her train ticket from London to Brighton everyday. I really like this art concept.
Found a yellow wild pansy in my yard. Pulled it up by the roots before my husband mowed over it. Put it in water. Keeps blooming!
I think I'm getting pretty good at identifying plants. My first guess was right--which was based on the flower scene from Disney's "Alice in Wonderland."
