Ah the joys of being a modern woman... Tonight when I was taking the garbage bin out to the curb, it appeared darker than usual. I looked into the sky, and the stars were so clear. I felt that I could have been in the country.
I wasn't in the country, the clatter of the 9 pm train showed me that... If the air was not quite as cool as it is tonight or if I was not so lazy as to put on more clothes than tshirt and shorts, I would have grabbed a blanket and spread out on the grass watching the stars make their slow progression across the sky.
Ah, to live in the country or to live in a warmer climate or to notice the sky on a warmer night.
Reminds me of the times that it was so hot when I was growing up that all 5 of us (my brother, sister, mum, dad and myself) would either lay on the cool grass or sit on the steps and let a cooling breeze wash over us as the stars trekked through the sky. Dad pointing out all the different star clusters.
