The Northern Lights

[BC_MoM]

You should SEE them here tonight! It's absolutely amazing. On my drive home from babysitting, I saw something in the sky and thought it was just a spotlight. When I got home I took the dogs out into the back to do their business and OH MY GOD..

They were BEAUTIFUL! I have NEVER EVER seen them so big and wild in my LIFE! And in the city!!!

They were dancing in circles.. mostly green, but at the bottoms, when they were really dancing, you could see red....

My Dad said he can't remember the last time HE even saw them like that.

It's times like these I wish I could sit out all night and watch them.

I've just added a new goal. Go up North one year to see the Northern Lights.

You lucky duck! It's 10:00 P.M. here and it's still light out. I wish it would get dark enough so we could see some lights. They usually aren't very bright over Anchorage due to all the light "pollution".

I know what you mean.. we rarely see them here!

But tonight was just a weird night.. usually you hear all the night critters out in the forest and ditches, but they were silent tonight. It's 8C out (beautiful) with a warm silent southbound wind, a full moon.. stars, and the Northern Lights.

I feel like grabbing a blanket or two and heading into the backyards for the night with the dogs!

I'd be too afraid of a werewolf, though.. I love full moons, but my mind plays tricks on me a lot.

I hope one day in my life I get to see the northern lights.
You are SO lucky!!

Yep, I am also very jealous. What a wonderful thing for you to experience. I just may have to come up and visit you.

Sounds absolutely beautiful! Wish I could see them. Maybe someday!

You should post some pictures, so we can all see them.
