Celebrate!

Today my son says goodbye to his 20's and hello to 30! What a wonderful age to be...you're not old and yet you are an adult--IF only I'd known then what I know now comes to mind for that age---when I was a young girl- a preteen- I entertained the idea of being a mounted policewoman---and it was not until I was 46 that I realized I could have made that dream a reality--if only--

...that night back in 1981 when my son came into the world the moon was in its first quarter that cold windy February night...I went into labor on Feb 10th at 11 pm, he wasnt born until Feb 11 at 8:15 pm!  I was supposed to bowl that night on my league! 

This is not todays moon, but I did notice its a very similar moon to this today...I took this photo a month ago--Today I had some errands to do in "town" and when I got out of my car I saw the moon hanging up in the Southern sky and right in front of the moon was a Bald Eagle soaring...did I have my camera? NOOOOO and If I had Im sure I would have missed the shot, but that image sort of burned itself on my retina--what a sight to see...on this the anniversary of my sons birth!  I was trying to figure out how many full moons my son has seen in his short 30 yrs--its such an amazing thing---the people of Egypt as they shouted in exhaustion today for their freedom--it was this SAME moon hanging over them--that just blows my mind sometimes I forget its everyone's moon and not just mine--

...about 2 weeks ago..it was quite early the sun hadnt long been up--I saw that cresent moon and thought it was such a beautiful sight---and then this plane went streaking by--I wondered if the people on board were checking out that moon below that shared the sky with them--my Moon! 

 What a day to Celebrate!         

DNA of the SiSter

Last night we had an inch of snow fall..by morning it had melted---old man winter is trying very hard to hold on, but Mother Earth will turn and before you know it she will ride her orbit to the Spring Equinox and there will be no more handle for Mr. Winter to grasp, he will have no choice but to relent!! The birds will be nesting and the flowers will pop up--and the bees will come and days will grow longer--its a sure bet!!

Meanwhile...the Moon has been fabulous this week! I took my scope out on the deck to check it out but it was so bright I couldnt look at it--So I used my binoculars instead and once again SHE WOWED ME--our sister the Moon--I always look up and smile and think --"there's my moon again."

   
 She is so connected to us--not just sharing our orbit but our very DNA. I've been making frequent visits to Goodale lake because on 2 occassions as I drove past the back side of the lake on my way home Ive seen an Eagle soaring and then the other day he was sitting in one of the Cyprus trees! Naturally when I get my car stopped and grab my "car" camera he is always gone or soaring up so HIGH I cant even get the camera to focus on him (could be a her) so the other day I stopped but no Eagle just this awesome

Relfection...

 

 Hope all of you are well--Im currently working on yet another work at home project the cardboard swatch project as I did in the fall last yr. So its very boring work, but Im listening to audio books to keep my mind busy while my hands do the work. Sue Henry is one of my favorite mystery authors she bases her books in Alaska and her main characters are Jessie Arnold an Alaskan musher and Maxie an 63 y.o. Alaskan RV'er not unlike some of the very interesting people who.

 I know here on Blogger who are RV'ers. Maxie always travels with a dog named Stretch and they always find a great mystery to solve.... Another book I am listening to is People of the Earth by Micheal & Kathleen Gear--a wonderful historical fiction story based on early North American legend and life of hunters emerging to gatherers The authors are archaeologists! Fascinating stuff!!
