Making wishes...

Last night I got to make about 5 wishes in a span of 30 minutes!

"The Perseid shower occurs every summer as the Earth's orbit takes it though debris scattered by the tail of the Swift-Tuttle comet. In clear skies around the shower's peak observers can see up to 80 meteors and shooting stars streaking overhead every hour. "Photo Credit: (Kevin Clifford/AP)

It was really neat to see the meteors shoot across the sky. They were so bright and the tails were so long. I'm so happy that I took a few minutes to sit up and watch for them. I bet they were really amazing up in Northern Minnesota with dark skies and no city lights.

Did anyone else see any?

Hugs,
Dana
