Awesome!

I just got back in from freezing my butt off (along with various other body parts). I took the girls (my dogs!) out, and as I stepped out the door I looked up and said to myself, "Wow, Northern Lights!" Then I looked again and said to myself, "Oh no, it's just a cloud bank." Then I looked again, and said (yes, to myself again), "Hmmm, that's an awfully strange cloud bank..."

Upon further looking (and a bit more talking to myself - well, there wasn't anyone else standing out there freezing their nether regions off and staring at the sky, so who else was I going to talk to?) I discovered that it was a cloud bank, with Northern Lights dancing around behind it! It was very cool - I've never seen them quite like that before. The cloud bank was moving quite swiftly, and the lights were playing in spiky vertical strips behind it. It was one of the most intriguing and awesome displays I've seen, I must say. Unfortunately all of my various body parts got way too frosty for me to stay out and watch it for very long, but I'm glad I got a glimpse of it all at least!

Well, enough babbling - I'm just waiting for my bedspread to finish drying, then I'm off to Dreamland! Sweet dreams everyone!
