Shooting star

I went outside just now while getting ready for market/CSA distribution tomorrow. It is a beautiful clear cool night, and with no moon, you can see the whole band of the Milky Way. And then I saw a shooting star in the southern sky that looked like it landed in Groton, the town next door. It was really bright and seemed really close. And even though I have been working since 5am this morning, and sometimes it seems the farm runs us rather than us running the farm, I thought about what a beautiful place this is, in its own out of control way, and how there is no place I would rather be.

P.S. On a lighter note, this is Henry's favorite song lately, and he asks me to play it every time we get in the truck. It seems like a good song for an almost three year old to like.
