Day 4 - 28 -- Sky Gazing

The day unfolded like a usual Saturday -- household chores, laundry and course prep for next week. It was a calm, relaxing day in spite of the 'to do' list. There was sunshine and a lot of wind during the day. By supper time, the wind had dropped a bit, but the skies remained clear. When walking out for supper with a friend, we marveled at the brightness of Venus tonight and for the past few weeks. It has been prominent in the night sky early in the evening. This means that we have had some nights with clear skies, which is not all that common in this part of the world. Mars was also visible, though much less bright than Venus <smile>. Mars is supposed to be more visible in the middle of the night, though I'm not likely to get up just to see that.

I've chosen a song that relates to the celestial bodies in a roundabout way. It is a relaxing song that matches the calmer feel of today. The singer/songwriter began life in a band that rocked the world This was followed by a healthy solo career. Enjoy!

Listen to what the man said -- Paul McCartney & Wings (from the album Venus & Mars)
