That is so true. Being in the desert, it nearly always cools down pretty well at night. However these dark red bricks our house is made of absorb a LOT of heat that radiates at night. I’ve always wanted a covered patio, but it’s always been just out of our budget to afford one.

Are the fireflies still rising out of the grass in the evenings. Such a happy sight.

It’s a shame you don’t have a covered patio. We didn’t have one at the old house but there’s one at this house. I like it because I can sit out there when it’s raining, as long as the wind isn’t blowing.

The lightning bugs are coming up but not all that many yet. I think the chilly nights we’ve had lately have slowed them down. The crickets too. We had some warm nights last week and they were really loud but not so much the past few nights. It’ll be kinda hot by the weekend so we’ll see if things pick up.
