evening summer sky

In the summer I like to keep our bedroom curtains and window open at night.

I like to get the extra breeze from the open window and to sniff the lovely summer night air and to hear the little creeping and rustling of nighttime creatures in the garden; all from the comfort of bed.

I also love to be able to see the night sky and stars..

For example THIS star pattern is exactly what I look at, (this month anyway, as then it starts to move above the house)

Guess what it is??

Did you say, “The Big Dipper”? (or Ursa Major for the scientific types)

I learned the major stars during the MANY walks we took as kids with my mom, down those island roads in the summer time. Sometimes the ONLY light would be from the stars and to keep things from being TOO creepy we would have great discussions about the stars and planets..

What stars do you see at night?
