A Scattering of Stars

Last night, the antics of the stars were pretty funny. Shortly after midnight, the bulk of the Taurids began streaking through the sky, especially around the Taurus the bull constellation. I think Taurus was feeling a little impatient last night with these shooting stars, buzzing around him like astral parasprites. They're much too fast to get swatted by his tail, although he did come close to hitting a fireball. So he moved, climbing high up overhead in the sky, causing other, smaller constellations to scatter.

It's a lot warmer out tonight. I've been reading by candlelight on the balcony. It's hard to find fireflies at this time of year.
