One benefit to living in the country - - no city lights.
Humidity can put a damper on seeing the dimmer stars and clouds tend to mess us up more often than I’d like. Especially on meteor shower nights.

But on a good clear night, the Milky Way is very visible across the sky here. In the cities, I never saw it.

Yes, when I used to spend time with my aunt and uncle who lived on a ranch far from city lights, it was a splendid sky. Wish I had the telescope then. They moved into town to an assisted living place and my uncle then died.

I loved the countryside there. It’s also close to where my grandparents lived for many, many years.
