Romance In The Air
They loved to spoon on the porch after everybody went into the house to listen to Sherlock Holmes on the radio. Fireflies swooshed by, lighting their path as they flew, crickets sounded off in the background, bullfrogs jumped from their lily pads looking for cover from the evening moonlight. All this made a romantic evening.

Oh boy....this may age me a great deal, but I can remember those lazy, wonderful, evenings on the porch like this...many many years ago.
TIGER TEARS is my 55 this week.
I think that when you are comfortable enough and really in love you show it at times through companionable silence as you sit holding each other enjoying the simple pleasures in life. Great 55!
I'm up right HERE
Indeed, ROMANCE is in the air.
Oh, I am one hopeless romantic,
and I am matured enough
to be silly.
Lovely post.
Have you a great weekend.
Mine is up

Friday Flash 55 ~ Know
Fireflies and bullfrogs, crickets and porches. Lovely scene.
romance in the night air with nature...a warm thought
have a great weekend,
Romance is good for the heart, mind, body and soul.
Thanks for visiting mine Larry! The Loft
Nostalgic, romantic and all in 55. Nicely done, Larry. My 55 is HERE . Come see what's up.
My love and I like to just sit side-by-side reading, or sometimes we're both on our laptops. From time-to-time one of us will reach over and touch the other. It is a simple, "I love you" gesture, and to me it is more precious and romantic then public declaratons of undying love.
Lovely 55.
What a nice mental image.
I can almost hear the crickets and see the stars in the night sky! :)
The night air wraps a blanket of memories around me, just reading this. Beautiful.
I'm hanging out, over here.
I love the nostalgia in your post. It was a simpler time. Thanks!
Larry...
Fantastic picture you just painted for us all.
Excellent 55 Brother.
I still listen to old time...
Channel 164 on XM/Sirius.
Thanks for playing and visiting, and have a Kick Ass Week-End...G
yea...those were the days...
I miss those nights, out on the front porch, watching the fireflies and listening to the crickets and tree frogs chirping away. A lovely picture was painted for us by you! Oh, and thanks for the hearty welcome to Flash 55.
I wish that I was in that setting at this moment! Great imagery!
This is so descriptive! Wonderful 55!
Yea! You just brought back one of the best parts of my childhood!
My grandmother in NC lived on a pond. Of course the first time city slicker little girl me heard bull frogs singing at night, I thought we were being invaded by monsters. :)
My granddaddy in NC helped all of his grandchildren chase fireflies one night: putting them in a jar for a natural flashlight. At the end of the night he made us let them go; reminding us we wouldn't want to be shut up in one room all out lives. It was magical. 3 months later, he was gone. To this day when I see fireflies, I think of him.
Thanks for putting a smile on my face.
Wow! You painted a pretty scene...sounds like a perfect one.
Offlate i have not been able to make it to 55, hope to get back on track.Hope you and Claire are doing well.
