We woke up to clouds. And our hopes were dashed of watching shooting stars during the meteor shower tonight. But then the day progressed and the clouds burnt off. Blue sky and our hopes soared.
Come the evening the little man goes outside to see if he can see stars. He cannot. So we all go out and only Drew left his back porch light on. We can move behind his trees and it mostly blocks it. Stars could be spotted between the shifting clouds. The littles bring out the blanket and what do the other neighbors do......turn on their freaking back porch light. And not because they were outside. Oy. I knew it was too good to be true.
We stayed out watching as the clouds moved and moved and then the drops of rain came. The littles were cold, so we bailed. Brought the blanket in and are getting ready for bed. Makes me want to leave my porch light on all night because I know ours also shine in their bedrooms, just like theirs does ours. Spite.
No shooting stars and we are sad. The little man said this is the worst day. And it has been for him. He has gotten in trouble a lot and then didn't get to see the shooting stars. Maybe next time little man.
