I hear Mars is beautiful tonight in some parts of the world
The trees here where I live obstruct my view of the late summer sky, so I can only imagine.
It’s the only thing I miss from our days living on the plains, where I could look up and say,
“See, there’s Venus or Mars or Jupiter.” Once for a week the three lined up and I
Sat outside with the smell from a neighbor’s wood-burning fireplace my best companion,
That and the off again, on again lightning bugs, playing peekaboo in the bushes.
The webbed lawn chair’s plastic, scratchy against my pajama-clad legs,
A glass of Merlot, sipped slowly, once empty, the sign I should give up the watch
Leaving the celestial trio to their own devices for another night.
Praying for Eyebrowz 
Oh, that’s nice. Wish i could sit there and raise one with you.

Maybe you’ve influenced me. This happened years ago. Sitting outside my house in Illinois. Our neighbor was a meteorologist and was always pointing stuff out to us.

My evenings sitting out on the deck and watching the night sky are saving my sanity right now. Nice to “sit” there with you for a moment 🙂
