Stars? I'm never awake when the stars are out. In the summer they come out late. They are more brilliant in the deep darkness of winter. They also are drowned out by the city lights. At my previous house I would sit on my back porch and look at the stars totally in awe even though they weren't nearly as bright because they were competing with the city lights. Most of the time, I just sleep while they shine and sparkle the night away.
