Juniper, I'm convinced has the best night sky anywhere. One summer, some of the "city cousins" came to visit, it was dark when we got out of the car, one cousin said "Whoa! You guys got a lot of stars here!" Amazing what you can see without light pollution!

From Jerica:
One night Laura and I were out feeding the calves late. When we were heading back up to the house we looked up in the sky and saw the different colors. We saw the red in the sky and Laura said something about it being the Second Coming. I don't remember how old we were but we were pretty young. I started freaking out so I ran up to the house and we went in to tell Mom and Dad about it. We all went out and climbed the hill behind the house and I remember just staring in awe up at the sky, wondering how such a beautiful thing was possible. As we all know, it wasn't the Second Coming :) But I sure did love looking at the Northern lights.
I was so scared! All I could remember was something about the moon turning blood red and that's all I could think of when I saw the red sky. While we were on the hill behind the house, Ben came driving up on his four-wheeler wondering if the Hurst's were having a barbeque!
ReplyDeleteLOL, that is funny! I remember seeing the Northern Lights once while I was driving home to Juniper, they were green that night though. Very cool though!
