Twinkle Twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are. I was reminded of this little tune as I sat watching the night sky. Last night it was so clear and the stars shone beautifully. When I was a little girl I remember sitting in the back seat of my families car going home from somewhere, late at night. As a wee little one I was only big enough to see up into the sky from the window where I sat. The sky was so clear and gorgeous. I do recall singing the song Twinkle Twinkle little star. As a very young child I thought this to be so amazing . Amazing because the night sky was so much bigger than I. It was so vast and went on forever. As I sat the other night with my memories, another recent memory came to mind. Last time I looked after my sweet granddaughter Abby, she was singing that very song. I hope that she will soon be able to truly look up in the great big sky and see all the beautiful diamonds.

You touched a soft place in my heart with this one Wandi. I listened to all my grandchildren sing Twinkle Twinkle, and I never get tired of it...:)

Wandi: I just wanted you to know I answered your questions about the watercolor in my comments.

Wanda, funny, I was just out looking at the stars the other night. In fact I do it quite often. Living in the country the stars are even more brilliant without the glare of the city lights. One night they looked so close that I felt I could reach out and touch them.
