Yesterday was an even more beautiful day than the previous. Have slept the last couple of nights w/ the windows wide open. I started picking up more things outside that have to be tucked away before winter but got sidetracked by Whip. She also thought it was a beautiful day and we should have fun. So I brought out my latest audio book, sat on the deck, and when she wasn't rolling on her back or checking on rustling sounds in the tall grass or taking a quick nap in the sun/shade, I chucked treats for her to sniff out. I'd finished the book about the lady in the Scottish castle. Turned out to be more of a bodice-ripper than a murder mystery but the author came up w/ some bodies in the end chapters. The current book takes place in present day Maine and starts out w/ maybe dead bodies that can't be found. Why is Maine always so spooky in books?
The University is going to be tearing down the science building where I spent an inordinate amount of time when I attended college. They have announced that they will be closing the planetarium sometime in December so they are now putting on their last shows in that place and with that equipment. There is a new planetarium with new equipment being readied in the new science building. Might be nostalgic to go back to see another show but they are only on Thursday nights - when I volunteer at the library. Might be better to keep the memories I have of sitting back in comfy chairs w/ the song "You're so Vain" playing in the background and watching the planetarium go dark as a solar eclipse occurs just as Carly Simon belts out that verse.
