My husband and I live out in the country, far from any street lights, in an area where we are more likely to hear goats, horses, coyotes, crickets, and owls than a car. Occasionally we can hear the sounds of passing train 5 miles away, but those events are rare.
One of the many advantages of living in the middle of nowhere is the ability to see all of the stars in the night sky. On clear evenings, we can see the sprinkling of the Milky Way stretching out across the sky. We will often times just lay out on the grass and take it all in, the immensity of it all, the sheer size of the universe. It is an awing experience to be reminded of how fortunate each and everyone of us are to be here.
And then the mosquitoes roll in and ruin it all. The universe would be a better place without those bloodsuckers! :)
So, after running away from the mosquitoes, I decided that a worthy addition to my shop would be a little telescope searching the sky. I hope that you like it!
