Moon

The full moon came up as a big orange ball a few days ago.  A break in the clouds allowed us this treat.

We watched until it went behind the pine tree.

This is the third full moon we have watched this winter and it is always a thrill.  I guess some are easily amused.

    I love watching all the full moons. Sometimes they're ginormous! I think this recent one was called the Snow Moon.
    Peace,

    Could have been the Snow Moon, but no snow here. It is supposed to cool down for the weekend though. That will be welcome as it has been hitting 80 lately. I want to get yard work done.

    The moon is a really seductive satellite out there in our sky, especially in the winter. Good photos to share.

    I will always find wonder in the moon!

    We saw a glimpse of the full moon through a hole on the clouds.

    I'm silly, I guess, but I love looking at the moon. Great pics.

    LOL I like the comment about easily amused. Count me in on that one too. You captured some great shots of the full moon. It's fun taking pictures like these but most of mine do not turn out.
    Hope you have a marvelous weekend and do share pictures with us anytime
    Love

    Beautiful and I am right there with you -- a full moon just holds some kind of special magic.

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

Life Goes On

There is nothing like a visit from the grand children to remind one that life goes on.  I spent Friday night at my daughter's and then brought the kids back home with me.  I did not get to see so much of them this past summer and it was a birthday gift to my daughter (who just turned 40!) to have a couple of days to herself. She probably spent them in her son's room playing Lego StarWars.  Dane tried to teach me how to play this video game--a hopeless task if ever there was one.  "Concentrate, Grandma!  You have to concentrate!"  I do have a hard time with sustained concentration lately, but in this case I had no clue what it was that needed concentration.  He finally took the controls away from me (thank-you!). It's amazing how long he can amuse himself at my house being out side on a scooter or helping me in the yard, especially if it involves a hose.  Inside, they both sit and draw or craft for hours.  Just before bed, Dane did say, "N...

Eggplant

Mike and I considered ourselves soul mates, but we definitely were not culinary mates.  Mike liked what he liked and disliked what he disliked and he never changed his mind about things like that.  He did not eat mayonnaise.  He did not eat tomato sauce.  He did not eat cooked vegetables except for corn, peas and green beans.  He did not eat onions cooked or otherwise.  He did not eat casseroles ever since they were a combination of things he didn't eat anyway. I did not like mushrooms as a kid and eggplant just made me gag, but my tastes changed,  Foods I found disgusting as a child are now among my favorites--mushrooms, eggplant, avocados, asparagus, eggs, spinach, brussel sprouts, herbs and spices. I will admit that I never developed a taste for liver (nor do I want to). I made this Moussakka a while ago and ate it every day for a week.  I froze half of it but ended up thawing it out right away. It consists of sliced eggplant layered...
