Default Just a few

At 4AM, Orion had just risen over the Ossipees and there was just a hint of dawn. Just as I went outside, there was a bright, fat and fast streak as my reward. But the first was the best. In 15 minutes, I only saw two others and both were quick and faded. It was worth it though. The lake was still and quiet and showed reflections of the stars. The loudest things I could hear were loons that were miles away and a bilge pump cycling, about four houses down. Tonight (Sunday) is supposed to be the peak, but clouds are expected.
