We saw fireflies tonight, meaning that we are getting into one of my favorite seasons of the year, peaking around the summer solstice and running until about late July. My other favorite time runs from about mid-October through New Years, peaking at Christmastime. It is hard to take pictures of the fireflies, but here is one from last summer.The racetrack area down by Farmington Road that was flooded last Saturday is slowly drying out, but it smells like a swamp. Two people in the area were killed by the flash floods last weekend. This week has been dry so far.
In other local news, the Diocese of Peoria has lifted its church ceremony restrictions related to the H1N1 virus (a.k.a. swine flu). Kris and I had fun pretending to shake hands in the past couple weeks.
