Seeing the positive in a power outage

I wish I'd been able to take a picture of this, because words just aren't going to do it justice.

We had a thunderstorm on Friday night, and the power went out again. As I was sitting in the dark, talking to Dan before bedtime, I glanced out the window and saw a beautiful sight. The hayfield across the way was filled with hundreds of fireflies. It was like looking at a starry sky of twinkling lights. So pretty and unexpected. And something that may have been there night after night without me noticing because I had the lights on.
