I’m in northern Michigan watching the sky. This makes me smile. I lost count of the number of shooting stars I saw last night. Never, of course, while my camera was recording.
Still, it was fun.
One more night and I’ll head home. Some little short furry thing is going to be upset if she finds out where I was. I’m camping in our favorite site at her favorite park. But she got air conditioning and I slept on the ground. I think it’s a wash.
She might not feel the same.

Something has been going on since yesterday. I cannot ‘like’ your posts because it shows it ‘Loading…’ That is one beautiful sky, Dawn. Not saying a word to the little short furry one…. I will wait for her to post about this.

Hmmmm, wonder what’s up. I can like my post this morning. Maybe it has resolved itself. Headed home now, will have to make up with the princess soon.

I think she’d still be jealous 😉 A northern Mich. star gazing trip sounds nice. Hope you get in some good viewing tonight 🙂

Well, I got home a couple hours ago. She’s definitely ticked. I’m going to have to work hard to make it up to her.

I thought about the meteor showers at sunset as I was making my way to bed with a book. Does that count for anything?

Yes it does. I wish I could have stayed up there for another night. It was pretty spectacular, and I was just standing in a field next to the campground.

Our local weather caster told us to get outside and look at the meteors — lucky you! It was cloudy here yesterday; maybe tonight will offer better viewing. I won’t tell Katie where you’ve been (but her excellent nose is going to know!)

I hope you got to see some. They were amazing. Yes, Katie is ticked off with me now. Glad to see me home, but nothing I do is making her happy. She’s definitely wanting to do something fun. She brought me a ball, asked to go for a walk, asked for her supper early, asked for a treat right after supper, and now she’s just standing there barking at me. Sigh. I might need to go back to camping.

Well for several reasons I didn’t try to get more photos last night. I had plans…but cyotes crying very close to the campground kept me in. I did get up to go to the bathroom about midnight and saw one on my walk there. I should have stayed up, but I was tired.

They are pretty amazing. I was amazed that no one else from the campground was out in the field staring at the sky. It was a perfect night and I saw so many meterorites! It would have been cool to have a lot of people oooohing and ahhhhing.

Well you are welcome. You didn’t have to tell her, she was ticked off all by herself. She might settle down in awhile but for now she’s barking at me non stop.

Fun to see all those stars anyway, whether they’re shooting or not. And the fire looks wonderful. I always loved sitting by the campfire.

I am so bad at making a fire, I had to take a picture of this one because it was pretty. I tried 3 nights and I had a couple sort of successful fires. Last night I roasted two marshmellows, just for tradition’s sake. I don’t even really like them these days, but still…what’s a fire without marshmellows!

Thank you. She’s not sure EXACTLY where I was but she’s pretty sure it’s somewhere she would have wanted to go (It’s her favorite park and I was in our favorite campsite) and she’s barking nonstop at the moment. At me. Sigh.

I am so glad you got to see lots of meteors. We have gone out a few nights in a row here in Pennsylvania and there has been too much cloud cover and too many trees in the way!
I’m glad you had fun!

This year, for the first time ever, I am welcoming fall. For lots of reasons, among them this Covid thing…it just seems like if we can move along we will eventually figure out how to get past the worst of it. And the sooner we get to the November election the better. I’m not good with suspense. I just want that over, and of course I want the guy (and woman) I want to win.
