After all these years ......

After several nights of rain clouds I am still vainly watching the night sky in a vain effort to see a shooting star.  Last night/morning it happened!!
I have watched the skies for years, admiring the stars, amazement at the moon, tried to work out constellations ......then the Perseid Meteor Shower was all over the media ..... now or never?
So every night while I am in my 'sleepless' state, instead of walking round the house I stood at the landing window until I became too cold in the hope that at least one meteor would make it through the cloud.
Last night was no different except that the night sky was clear and well lit by those gorgeous sparkly things ..... then it happened ..... right in front of my eyes ..... in a nano second ..... gone.
I stood at the window in shock, willing another to come just to confirm what I had seen ..... no such luck, count yourself fortunate, return to bed and sleep the sleep of the just .... after you have calmed down of course!!
After all these years ..... I've seen my first 'shooting star' .... they're real!



On another happy note .... Little Soldier had his first try at stamping .... Stamping Platforms are a marvellous invention!!!





Today I am stripping the lavender flowers/seeds ready to fill my little stamped muslin bags.....


Happy dancing round here..... inbetween the stripping of lavender stalks of course!!
