Tower in the Sunbeam

A warm patch of sunshine was creeping right past the side of the sofa, and I needed an observation tower! I spotted a stack of three wooden building blocks left by the rug. Up I went, stacking two squarely, but the third tilted sideways and bounced straight onto the carpet! No problem—tilted makes a better telescope mount anyway. I leaned right against the wobbly wooden top, rested my chin on the smooth corner, and watched the little dust specks floating like golden glitter in the beam of light.
