Glow


We lost the power during the night for about 2 hours. It was pitch black and quiet except for the sound of a mouse in the wall behind the bed. It came on again during the blackout for 3 minutes, just long enough for a quick visit to the
loo. It went off while I was on my way back to bed. We have a flashlight handy and I knew where it was. I groped around to locate it.

Looking out the window, I could see an intermittent flashing, the only light source beaming off and on in the total black. A little firefly had settled down on the screen and was blinking. I went to the window to see if there were anymore flashers flying around in the night. Nope, he/she was the only one. One lonely firefly on my screen waiting for his/her brilliant glow to attract another of her/her kind so they could fly off beaming in unison.

Whooaa...why have I not seen this blog before?! It's beautiful. You did a great job on the CSS..

We never lost power during that storm. Think we were just at the fringe of it..probably worse across the river.

Today a bluejay finally came by. Haven't seen them in ages! They can't ALL be playing in Toronto!
