I Saw Northern Lights Last Night

I must have gotten up around 3:30 in the morning last night and something caught my eye out the bathroom window. It was the strangest phenomenon, but fascinating at the same time. It consisted of a milky white arc in the sky... and a second one even bigger beside it. I watched for a few minutes and then these sprays of light began to develop until there were about four of the in a row. My niece is the only one in the family who has ever lived far enough north to have ever seen them and now I think that I can say that I have too!! I had never seen Northern Lights before, but decided that must be what they look like and headed off to bed. Now I wish that I had stayed up longer to see what else would happen!!

I would have been standing there spellbound till it was all over. We saw the southern lights once when we lived near the south coast.
