I have fond memories of laying out one night with my husband on sleeping bags and watching a meteor shower (not sure now which one it was). Now the trees around our place are so big that most of the sky is not visible. On another note. A friend's husband may have that horrible nerve thing that Far Guy deals with. My heart goes out to both of them.

There were a few times I woke and went outside the tent to gaze at the most amazing sky, filled with so many stars, being away from all lights. It was always when the moon had not arisen that they were the most stunning. Thanks for reminding me of those days, Connie. :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-39207361362347483132013-08-13T07:08:10.781-05:002013-08-13T07:08:10.781-05:00I love the night sky.
