I satisfied a long-standing wish earlier this week and watched the planes taking off from the Northampton airport. I was with the healing angel and her significant other--we had a picnic.
It's a beautiful area, with cabbage, potato, and cornfields all around, plus plenty of wildflowers, and a view of the Holyoke range:

And there were *lots* of planes flying that day:



( 22-second phone video of a plane taking off )
I could have watched them all day, but work called. I'd like to go back, though, maybe with a writing project--work on writing while the planes are taking off and landing.
You know that song "Airplanes," from like a decade ago? It starts out "Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? Cause I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now"
But it was the daytime sky, and the planes *were* the wish--and it was being granted. Just wonderful.
