I'm up at... when did I getup?... Doesn't matter. I'm up
early cus I wanted to see the Venus Jupiter Mars cluster, only to find the
trees obliterating the view. Not completely. I did managed to catch one blurry
picture of all three when the wind moved the branches!! Can't even see the trees
in the picture it was so dark. Way to dark. Which is probably why I had my
heart jump-started by a passing jogger and his trusty dog. Almost wet myself!!
And it's not like the jogger did it on purpose what with the 100 gigawatt headlamp
he was wearing that practically blinded me when we finally saw each other. The
three of us engaged in a massive triple startle but somehow we all maintained
enuf presence of mind NOT to scream and shatter the early morning peace. I'm
sure it was to avoid the embarrassing questions we would have had to answer had
someone called 911. "Gee officer, see the pretty stars..." Uh huh...
It's a warm 34° out, the humidity is at 92%, we have "a few clouds" in the sky, and it says the winds are calm. LIARS!!! The wind is so blowing out there! Ok ok, so maybe it's not gale force. Maybe it’s not really a wind mind you. But it was enuf of a breeze to move the tree tops so I couldn't see the pretty stars. The same pretty stars I DIDN'T have to point out to the 911 police who weren't called because I didn't scream.
In parting, (thank the stars, right?) let us quote the Irish again, "love as though your heart has never been broken." Top o’ the mornin’ to ya! Oh, and one more thing. That really is Venus, Jupiter and Mars in the picture, as seen from the Front Porch. However, I must admit it looks like nothing more than dust motes on the camera lens. :)
