There is suppose to be a very strong Meteor shower tonight between midnight and 5 a.m. It is the annual Perseid shower and you could see up to 200 Meteors per hour streaking across the sky! Doesn't that sound amazing? I am keeping hubby up tonight or trying to wake him up and we are watching this together and I am going to pretend they are falling stars and making LOTS of WISHES!

♥ Hugs, Kristin ♥

    Meteor Shower
    Thanks for this info, Kristin. I don't know if I can make it til midnight, but I will try. I have stayed up for eclipses. When I was a little girl, I would lie out under the stars on our family camping trips and tell myself I was going to be an astronaut when I grew up. And I enjoyed my Astronomy class in college.(Not that I remember anything of it)

    Wishing everyone a star-filled night.

    Yes~ I already have my alarm
    Yes~ I already have my alarm set~ about 2AM it should really be visible where I am~ and thankfully I also live where there are almost no city lights or anything else to abstruct the glorious meteor shower! I am really happy that this is a yearly occurance; so much easier to deal with than trying to be available for something which happens once every 30!

    Thanks for letting all of us know!

    ( what do you mean Pretend??? Of course they are falling stars!) :-)

    I'll wake up hubby
    and try to describe the "falling stars" to him...it's not easy explaining such things to someone who is deafblind, but if I can interpret the fireworks I should be able to do this,too. :) I never learned how to interpret the Red Wings hockey games though, except to tell him that they are fighting again. After one game of such interpreting he told me I didn't have to do it again (that was 14 years ago, hee hee).

    Setting the alarm for 2AM sounds like a great idea. I'm in a rare romantic mood, so this should be fun.

    Thanks for the info.

    If the early morning hours
    If the early morning hours don't work for you and yours there should also be plenty of activity late in the evening on the 12th.

    I'm going to try for both!

    Thanks for posting this Kristin. I don't know if we will be up, but, I will try.

    Try to stay awake :-)
    I will be trying to stay awake.

    Hubby says to wake him. That is if I am still up.

    Maybe I should set my alarm too, like Claudia.

    Promise you won't laugh?
    Of course you will laugh. I have been up all night!! It is now 4:00am!! I have been sitting here all night "listening" for this meteor shower, so I can run outside and look. I have absolutely no idea where I got it in my head that I would "hear" it shooting (like fireworks!). Now I have seen nada!! Duh????!!!!
    Go ahead....I can hear you rolling on the floor through cyberspace.
