Unseasonably Beautiful

Today, the weather was absolutely gorgeous here. The high was probably somewhere in the low 60’s with very little wind and only a few scattered clouds. I just got back from playing a gig with the celtic band and the thermometer at the house says it’s 53… at 11:00 PM!! I wish everyday in December could be this nice.

As I was bringing my gear into the house I happened to look up in the sky and see the stars. There were absolutely no clouds and the constellations were shining down as brightly as I can remember. The stars here are much different than they are in St. Louis. For one, there seem to be a lot more of them. The constellations actually kind of look like the objects they’re supposed to represent because there’s less air and light pollution here; especially as far outside of town as I live. You can also see the Milky Way on nights like tonight. I can’t believe that for the past four years I’ve been without skies like these.

But as nice as tonight is, there is one thing that could make it better…

I hope the weather is still this nice when Barb gets here.
