The Beautiful Night
May. 4th, 2016 11:55 pmMeteor tea with the princesses is off. I received a reply and neither can make it. They have prior commitments. But Princess Celestia suggested we could have a morning tea four days from now. They would both be free then. She wrote that they would like a tour of my new castle, now that I've lived in it a while. So I wrote back that that would be perfect. It's a date!
It's a shame they couldn't make it tonight, it's warm, the skies are clear and the shooting stars are frisky. According to my Astronomical Astronomer's Almanac to All Things Astronomy, the best time to see them will be in a few hours. Starlight Glimmer was out with me on the balcony for a while, but she's gone back to the reading room to turn a few more pages before turning in. I've brewed tea for one, chocolate peppermint spice tea, I've a big comfortable cushion, my field notebook, and I'm stepping out to gaze at the stars.
