Happy Tuesday, Cypress! 🌲
The Lyrid meteor shower peaks tonight into early Wednesday morning, and here's the wild part — we've been watching this exact meteor shower since 687 BC. That's 2,700+ years of humans looking up at the same streaks of light. 🤯 They come from Comet Thatcher, which last swung past Earth in 1861 and won't be back until the year 2283. So those little flashes you see tonight? Leftover crumbs from a comet none of us will ever live to see. Kind of poetic. ✨
Now the bad news — Cypress is looking at some gloomy weather the next few days, so our view might be... not great. But the shower is active through April 25, so if the clouds break any night this week, bundle up, face east after 10 pm, and look up. You can see up to 20 shooting stars an hour, no telescope needed. 🌠
Have a great week!
Cheers! - Ashlyn 🌲💚

🐾 Adopt Spotlight — Meet Remi!
This is Remi — a 2-year-old pittie mix with the sweetest smile and the saddest backstory. She was just returned to the rescue with almost no warning and is sitting in boarding right now, waiting for someone to notice her. 🥹 She's spayed, kennel trained, house broken, and loves to play, snuggle, and run. If you've got room for a new best friend — or even just a foster spot to get her out of boarding — Remi is ready.
Don’t forget to pick her up some treats 🐶
