Tinkerbell makes a showing in our Backyard

  So, tonight, as Aaron and I were sitting in our backyard looking at the stars with the dogs as we often do, we saw something flittering in the night sky.  Okay, it wasn't quite in the sky; it was low in the backyard.  Through the porch light, we couldn't quite make out what it was but it was flying all around in an odd flight pattern.  As it reflected the light, it sparkled.  The oddest thing about it was that it was flying vertically, not horizontally like bugs do.  Maybe it's the child in me or one too many trips to Disneyland which caused me to say, "It's Tinkerbell!"  We were so stumped at this little thing flying around Aaron had to go investigate.  It actually turned out to be a floating cobweb that was reflecting the light.  Or maybe that's what Tink wanted us to think, as she flew away...You didn't think she'd actually let us catch her, do you?
