Hi Karen, I know they have it too built up now, where I use to live up on the hill, passed the Penwyn? Club (that men's club over that little bridge that leads to Mohnton). Well, right after that, if you take the very next right, it will take you to Park Terrace Apartments. I use to live up, up, up, and up :o) I was on the very top building, the top floor (there were only two floors to the apartment buildings), facing the tree nursery. That was my view from my livingroom window. Anyway, before they built all those houses going up on the right, you could see the stars very clearly up there. There weren't that many street lights at that time. But, sad to say, they built it up, and I'm sure those lights are shinning all the time, along with those motion lights that we are having more and more of around here. My friend, across the street and up two houses, has one of those very sensitive ones. It goes off everytime I walk out of my kitchen to check on things at night. Oh, those beautiful Dog Wood trees around St. Luke's EC church in Shillington? When my mom passed away, they used the money I donated to the church to buy those trees, and some other things they needed for the office inside. When you drive by, which I am sure you do, probably everyday, please let me know what they look like!! :o) I'm told they are really pretty at times!!! Thanks!

I remember when I was a kid, my friends and I would all spawl out at the picnic table in the backyard watching the annual meteor shower. Some years it looked like the sky was falling and the end of the world was nigh! These days I live in the suburbs and even without the thunderstorm...if we would have had a clear cloudless new moon night, I still wouldn't have seen much. Most of the neighbors have motion security lights installed and most are at a setting so that they will turn on if a firefly flits by. Talk about light pollution!

Lynn extols "those beautiful Dog Wood trees around St. Luke's EC church in Shillington". Yes, dogwood trees are pretty. Do you know how you can tell a dogwood tree? By its bark.
