Today the earth passed through the tail of Halley's Comet. Being the astronomy buff that I am, I made sure to come outside right before dawn with Leia Rose to see some meteors burn up in the atmosphere. Unfortunately, I saw only one really bright one right BEFORE I got Leia. Near the end, we finally saw one. But it was the togetherness in the coolness of the fall morning that made it the most special.

Meteor Shower Morning

Oh, I yearn for your dark night sky...
ReplyDeleteYou need to buy the girls a trampoline for the yard. The BEST (most comfortable) way to watch the night sky!!!
