Alioth overhead on May 11, 2024
- On return from Lake Ballinger, the clear blue skies made me want to observe a few stars tonight. I stepped outside around 10PM and found the Big Dipper almost directly overhead, upside down from my familiar view. Mary was calling for the cat, who quickly ran to the door. I stepped back and startled Narda, who did not expect anyone to be outside.
- Susie, will you indeed come home next Saturday, and be my own again, and kiss me … I hope for you so much, and feel so eager for you, feel that I cannot wait, feel that now I must have you—that the expectation once more to see your face again, makes me feel hot and feverish, and my heart beats so fast … my darling, so near I seem to you, that I disdain this pen, and wait for a warmer language.
