Even in the summer, even in the spring

And tonight [livejournal.com profile] derspatchel and I had science for the solstice. We missed the Viking sunstones and the free ice cream, but we got into the Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments, the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, and just enough of the Harvard Semitic Museum to know we have to go back. There were telescopes all over the new plaza outside the Science Center, gazing at the moon and the new summer stars. It was a warm blue night and we walked both ways. (Dinner first at M3, where I was attacked repeatedly by my shrimp and grits and an opportunistic fingerling potato from Rob's plate. The fried Oreos, however, suffered a decisive defeat at the hands of some raspberry-strawberry sauce.) I am looking forward to more of this season.

was there too, and surprised I didn't run into one or both of you!

That sounds like a great solstice! I'm glad you had a good day.

(Mmm, scientific Morris dancers.)

*(I imagine their bells as tiny celstial spheres, or something.)*

Dear God, that's mind-blowing.
