Searching for Leonoid Meteors

Katherine and I read about the yearly event of the Leonoid Meteor Shower that was to be entertaining us on the night of Nov 17th. We looked before we went to bed, but the moon was bright and we saw nothing.

Katherine set her alarm for early in the morning. I heard the back door open ay 5:30. She was out with the dogs and a flash light looking for stray meteorites. When I joined her we saw two more, bringing her grand total to 4.

It was cold and windy. We left the driveway and came back in...me to get back under the covers and she to get the dog brush and she finished the early morning hours brushing Yetti and feeding Chance dog treats.

This picture is a borrowed one. "Our" metoers were more like small shooting stars!
