It reminded me of the season to come. Spring and summer viewing. Summer was again visiting me, at the Peak, in mid winter. Our party was now down to perhaps half a dozen, and we again pulled our chairs into a circle, sitting and watching the sky at zero power, seeing meteorites, and enjoying the relaxation and comraderie of amateur astronomy. We talked a bit about people that had been active and had not been seen in some time.
Winter thins the ranks, no doubt.
Such talk made me realize how much I look forward to summer, when other visitors will appear, in our group and overhead.
