Glowing bugs, nice evening, snakes

Tonight I was walking in the dark from the barn to the house and noticed several glowing bugs on the ground. Actually this was not the first time I've seen them, they have been around for some time. These bugs glow green like lightning bugs, but they are not flying.

We enjoyed a beautiful sky tonight, clear, cool, and full of stars.

Yesterday John announced that he and Joey saw some dead copperhead snakes near the pond and that I probably had run over them earlier with the tractor. We went to look today and sure enough there was a dead snake that I had accidentally run over with the tractor. We brought the snake remains to the house and will try to identify the species. Oh, by the way, if Nanny is reading this there are a ton of huge poisonous snakes running all over the place around here, you probably don't even want to think about coming for a visit :)
