Happy Pink Saturday!
Did you see the meteor shower last night? It was visible from 10 p.m EDT until dawn if you looked toward the North Star.
These new meteors, called
the Camelopardalids, are dusty remnants of a previously unobserved
comet called Comet 209P/Linear which was discovered in 2004.
Meteors occur when Earth’s atmosphere strikes the dusty trail left by comets as they pass through our solar system. The trails contain particles, which when enter our atmosphere, vaporize creating bright streaks in the night sky.
This morning I'm sharing musical mice in teacups! This little doily covered tea table is a music box made by Enesco. While the music plays, the saucer turns and the teacups spin.
The boy mice are dressed in blue, while the little girl mouse wears pale lavender and has a bow on her head. The table is draped in a pink tablecloth and there are two teabags resting next to each other on the saucer.
Notice the dangling teabag strings?
The unofficial beginning of
summer - Memorial Day - has arrived and the school year is over for many, or will be soon. This weekend I'm thinking of all the men and women who've served in our military. I'm grateful for their dedication, honor and sacrifice.
On the first Decoration Day, General James Garfield made a speech at
Arlington National Cemetery, and 5,000 participants decorated the graves of the 20,000 Union and Confederate soldiers buried there.
Wishing you a rosy Saturday!
