Summer is when I usually look up at the sky during the day. Mainly because it's the only time of year I'm outside during daylight hours on a somewhat regular basis. But also because Summer is the only time of year the sky changes. Fall and Winter are pretty much one rain or snow storm after another. Summer time offers bright blue skies with ever changing cloud formations.
My nieces and I like to see who can spot different things in the clouds. We also like to make up stories of where we think the jet are coming from or going to. Watching the eagles soar high above us is always relaxing. Of course, we can do that any time of year around here.
Looking up at the night sky always reminds me of how small my world actually is. At the same time, it's comforting to know that should loved ones who are far away happen to look up at the night sky, they are seeing the same stars I am. I've also been known to make a wish on falling stars. :o)
Somewhere Out There
written by James Horner, Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil
Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight
Somewhere out there someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky
Somewhere out there if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky
Somewhere out there if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true
When my cousin's daughter Erin was in 2nd grade, she sang this song as a solo. Now she's got two twin girls of her own. She's thousands of miles away from me, but somehow, however cheesy it sounds, I know she's seeing the same night sky I am and it helps to know we're still connected.

I love that song!
We love looking at the sky. Nighttime is Mindy's favorite and I got a stargazing book with this chart of the night stars so we can be geeky and point out constellations.
I agree with you about looking at the night sky and knowing your loved ones can see the same thing, no matter where they are. My best friend and my sister both love Orion and whenever I see the big guy, the two of them don't seem so far away.
Thanks for talking about the cloud shapes. It brings back memories of happy times laying on our backs.

Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving such kind words.
I love looking at the sky and no it's not cheesy to think that she is seeing the same sky miles and miles away. It's actually comforting. :)

Kate, when that song first came out it got way too much radio time so I got sick of it. But now I love it, mainly for the memories it brings back.
Jayleigh, we have a telescope that we rarely use. I think we'll have to remedy that!
Lois Lane, you're so welcome. I will most definitely be returning soon! :o) Thanks for taking the time to visit mine!
