I would love a hammock so I could fall asleep looking at the sky.

9:51 pm

HarryHood

I was in my hammock seat on my front porch. put me straight to sleep :)

9:51 pm

HarryHood

my wife hates it - she thinks we look like hillbillies - which is kind of my goal :)

9:52 pm

Trifioso

the fireflies this year are so abundant. looks like the lawn seats at great woods out there

9:52 pm

origami

Nice. I would sleep in my back yard all the time if I had a hammock. Being a female in the city, I wouldn't want to sleep out front.

9:52 pm

Trifioso

I bought one of those banana style cloth hammocks during the shut down - oh, it's a lovely thing

9:54 pm

HarryHood

I've never seen a comet. I live with a lot of light pollution. But I did go to the mountains once when there was a meteor shower. It was awesome.

10:00 pm

Trifioso

10:00 pm

I saw a comet in college, in 1985 or so. I have forgotten now what it was, but remember marveling at how I could never see it again

10:03 pm
