Those "twinkling fireflies" create a beautiful mood throughout the night. I agree, it's pure magic. Spring is in the air and your thoughts curl softly around me. :) Brandy

Fireflies are something I always loved and have not seen in many years. A wonderful write that brings back fond memories of my childhood on my grandma's farm. Lovely. Good luck to you in the contest. God Bless, JB
