Candlelight and Starlight...


Last night, just as I was finishing up the bedtime routine for the little ones, the power went out.  I lit the vigil lamp in our bedroom and my little trio fell asleep all snuggled up in our big bed.  I sat in the living room watching the candles flicker and just enjoyed the quiet.  Later, I went out to check on the power workers and was so happy to see a sky full of stars!  It reminded me to download Sky Guide onto my phone...  now that it is getting so dark in the early evening, it would be the perfect time to take the children out to star gaze!

We did go out for astronomy homework last week, and it was really easy to see the summer triangle made by the brightest stars, Vega, Altair and Deneb. That helped us orient us to the nearby constellations. Only one daughter had the homework, but everyone wanted to join in. I wish we could be further out in the country to really see the stars and the Milky Way.
