The morning after.....

Last night and the night before, we were out watching the Perseid meteor shower. Last night at the predicted time of UT for the peak, there was a rush of meteors.

There were a lot of clouds moving in and out of the view, and mosquitoes , like crazy, but the night was good just the same.

We left the area we were in around midnight, and drove home, and promptly fell asleep. If I had a nap in the afternoon, then I would have been able to stay up.

Well today, we go camping........maybe more meteors tonight.

till the next time, keep looking up, and turn your lights down.

A Green New Year

Happy Green New Year, everyone!. Its hard to believe, we had snow on December 26 and 30th, and it was cold and windy, and it stayed. The boys next door built big snow balls for a fort, and were skating on the ice pond outback just yesterday . We had a bon fire and chiminea to celebrate the New Year, watched some tv and finger foods and in bed to 10:00 pm, but got up 1/2 hour before midnight.

Today the temperature is +11C no snow, rain, and lots of SW wind. The inside of the green house was 19C, this keeps up and I am starting my garden, well ok some lettuce.

I observed the sun today, and it has some interesting spots coming on. Reports are aurora for for the next two days (Jan 2-3), right now we have cloud, and it will be cloud/sun for the next few days, so maybe we will see it.

Well, tonight we have to prepare to go back to work tommorrow, I have enjoyed the time off, but didn't get to do anything I had planned too.......I guess I need more days off.
