Tonight I will drive out to Pumpkin Ridge in an attempt to see the aurora borealis, which may be (fingers crossed) visible due to an explosion on the sun just two days ago. Tomorrow's class will be dedicated to a Native American myth from the Pacific Northwest which explains how the sun was given to the people. As we enter into the deep of summer, it may be worthwhile to celebrate the power of the sun from the vantage point of various traditions and histories. Here's hoping for another sunny day on the decks of Green Bean Books! See you tomorrow!
did you make it out last night? I'm thinking of going tonight, but not sure. any tips?
ReplyDeleteI did drive out to Pumpkin Ridge and settled in a field around midnight. We saw the moon rise (which was amazing) and some shooting stars but I think it was a bit too cloudy for the aurora borealis. I suppose we'll have to travel further north for a true light show. Best of luck if you do go and let me know if you see anything :)
