Memorial Weekend Feast

Saturday night was one of those special nights on the hill. About a dozen of gathered for a feast: Bolide Stew, Star-q-que chicken, sausage & ziti, potato salad, cakes and more around a campfire. Mostly cloudy skies turned clear enough for a "bulls-eye" overhead pass from the ISS. By the end of twilight, the skies cleared out for some fine stargazing... Leo and Saturn already setting in the west, the summer triangle peaking up over the Eastern horizon.

It was an exceptionally cool night for late May, well down into the 40's, which made the campfire inviting. With Joe and Bruce providing the music, and the night sky providing the scenery, it was a pleasant evening.
