Should have dubbed this natural phenomenon day...
1. Saw a full, triple rainbow driving my daughter's friends home.
2. Saw a really surreal firefly storm at a huge old cemetery... few fireflies in the surrounding woods, but hundreds and hundreds of dancing light playing amid the tombstones.
3. Just now saw the largest meteor I have seen in years... covered nearly 75% of the sky leaving a straight-line trail.
But maybe the best, my oldest daughter turned 18!
Anyway, a really cool day.

Are you going to wake up early on Sunday, Monday, &/or Tuesday morning to see the Perseid meteor showers?
Happy B-day to your oldest daughter! I hope she was in on some of the magic, too!

Happy Birthday to your daughter!
