The day ended with a wonderful dinner and visit with a friend I hadn't seen for a long time. It involved a long drive and an overnight visit, but it was such fun. The weather cooperated and we ate on the deck overlooking the river and with a great view of the sunset. When it was over and everyone had headed to their respective homes, three of us sat on the deck and chatted away, while watching for the Perseid meteor shower. We did see several of varying size and brightness -- they were all wicked fast so turning to look in another direction meant missing that event.
When we first settled back to watch the sky, one of the other viewers sang a few lines from a song -- one that had been written after the singer-songwriter had viewed this meteor shower several decades ago. It is a song about the wonders of nature. Enjoy!
Rocky Mountain High -- John Denver
