DH and I go out in the middle of our street when they announce the space station is going over! (Last year, or year before last, the space station went over , followed by the shuttle a short time later. No more shuttle now tho.) We can see it for quite a while, considering how fast it travels. Sometimes the neighbors go out with us. Seems it's usually around 6:30 or 7 at night when it's visible. Love to star gaze too. Would have loved to have seen the meteor or whatever it was.
If I remember correctly, we had 90° days in April last year. I was out in it way too much. It took a toll on my skin. I ordered some hostas, knowing "they don't grow in Texas." I have big pots of them that have adapted to my shady backyard. Yep, I'm a zone pusher.
