Tonight we went to get dinner and then Wolverine and I took the bikes of the house to a monument in town. It was dark, so my perception of the monument's grandeur may be a little exaggerated, but whoa it was huge! I was expecting some dinky little statue of a person on a horse or something, but it looked like the Washington Monument.
There was a big lawn there too and it is a clear night, and Mom had tipped me off about the Perseids meteor shower this week, so we sat on the lawn and watched for shooting stars. I saw several, more than ten. A couple of them were really great, they left visible trails in the sky for a second. How fantastic. We came back and naturally everyone else is sleeping. I am beginning to find that doing things out of the ordinary, even if you miss out on some sleep or something, always pays off.

I used to be able to sit on my deck and watch the meteor showers but now there are so many trees that there's not much sky =(
ReplyDeleteI may get up early tomorrow and see if I can catch a few, the best time to see them is right before the sun comes up.
If you drink just enough beer with your Monkey Barrel pizza, and walk up really close to it late at night, the chicken statue in downtown G'ville looks a little like the Washington Monument too! Love you!
ReplyDeleteMom! It was bigger than the chicken statue I swear! Lol
