The moon will capture your heart

Last night's moon was simply gorgeous. I am sorry I did not get a picture, but I doubt that I could have done it justice anyway. The moon rose round and faintly yellow, and I was momentarily stunned by its beauty. It is easy to see why there are so many songs, poems, and pictures about it. Tonight, before it changes very much, I recommend you take a few moments to view something more unique than any human olympic feat. It is a sight that continues whether you stop to glance at it or not. It continues through rain and fair alike. It displays for the broken hearted, the love-striken, the weary, the aged, and those whose steps spring lightly across the dewey grass.

  1. Mary has been burning several large brush piles over the past couple of days and each evening before going to bed I walk out to be certain the fire hasn't flared up or threatened to jump the fire breaks.

    For the last two evenings I have been very taken with your Goldhill moon. It casts such a beautiful soft light that I can walk without a flashlight. Glad to see someone else noticed.
