That's too bad ...<BR/><BR/>We had a clear, warm night for once!! <BR/><BR/>I went to bed before 10 to get some sleep and then get up in the middle of the night to watch. But I couldn't get to sleep!! So I just went out about 11:45 p.m. and set up the chaise lounge in the back yard with a couch pillow and cotton blanket. Perfect!!<BR/><BR/>I saw 10 or so, 3 or 4 bright ones low in the sky. Then I heard a mosquito so brought the blanket up around my eyes.<BR/><BR/>Then I heard shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle. Finally I shone the flashlight under the deck - and saw a bushy white back and tail!! <BR/><BR/>So on with the flip flops and sidle to the left as the skunk sidled to the right along the back of the house. I got up on the deck without incident and watched the skunk go around the top of the basement stairs, around the pond, and into the brush.<BR/><BR/>But that was the end of the meteor shower for me!!hrhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14596988242528734544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21634361.post-91074846075635641772007-08-13T12:20:00.000-04:002007-08-13T12:20:00.000-04:00Nope, couldn't see anything in SC because the love...Nope, couldn't see anything in SC because the lovely clouds were in the way!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
