Tou are very welcome!
Update on viewing: So as to take advantage of every opportunity to see peak viewing opportunities, begin your meteor watching on Sat., evening (the 11th) into the early morning hours - 1 AM on Sun. the 12th and through those early hours.

After sunset on Sun. the 12th, head outside, relax in a comfortable chair, and enjoy Perseid, who happens to be a very pretty meteor shower.

G'evening,

A Perseid Meteor Shower reminder for you: From Saturday night through Sunday night to dawn on Monday morning will be the peak times for meteor watching. If anyone is a meteor counter, NASA would be interested in your findings and data - see the link posted for information regarding this. As stated before, the meteors can be seen prior to peak - just look up!

Enjoy! 😀

Thanks! Looking forward to seeing them 🙂

as always, thanks swans, and looking forward to it. at least the meteors can't see me,so i can dress as i please:-)

The clouds over STT's East end can move along by 11 o'clock, please! :-X

I wish I were there to see it. It's pouring rain here in Virginia but we will be home on Wednesday. Lily, come get me out of bed on Wednesday to go walking. I don't care what you wear. :S

That was supposed to be a smily face.

It's not you Lily. Just our "luck" ??? Let's hope the sky clears; we have until dawn!

Hi Tammy; and Hi JJ, my young Friend. Welcome home!

thanks for the encouraging words swans!! i can't wait to have my neighbors home too!!..when push comes to shove stx is an awesome place to live..not just for the nature but the incredible people who understand what we have living here minus the sometimes daily frustrations it brings. as i always say, st. croix is not for everone,and living any where is a trade off.. BUT boy the trade off here is beyond worth it!!!don't think i'll get any arguments from you ,doug,tami, and jj aka joey

So glad I got to see some last night...only looking for about 15 minutes and saw five! Tonight, however, entirely too cloudy at dusk and now rain rain rain!!

So sad, didn't see a one 🙁 Oh well, next time.
