Meteor Shower Morning

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.

Oh, I yearn for your dark night sky...

You need to buy the girls a trampoline for the yard. The BEST (most comfortable) way to watch the night sky!!!
