n o d d y b o o m: look at the moon

look at the moon

taken december 1st (gosh, has that much time passed already?)

isn't it pretty? that was a crazy beautiful moon, that night. it always is, but it was particularly breath-taking at that moment. i snapped many photos of it through my car window at every stop light. did anyone else see it? it was hu-normous. so big, it looked like another planet floating around out there. like... crazy big. abnormally big. it kept the kids quiet in the back seat, big. it made me not mind the traffic, big. it was pretty darn spectacular. i love the moon. it is a good means to find my way to stillness, just taking the time to gaze at it.

things i am doing:

looking up

laying low

trying new things

weathering storms

wearing flip flops again (the weather always warms up around here at christmas)

creating space

eating chocolate

eating peppermint cake

eating vanilla ice cream with sea salt caramel

thinking about making bagels

wondering where to get a good fudge recipe

wondering where to get a good caramel corn recipe

hosting a potluck

singing carols

wishing there was something good on t.v.

gearing up to start making things for my shoppe again (after the holidays)

enjoying slippers

hitting the library

dreaming of snow

dreaming of naps

everyone have a lovely evening. solstice is quickly approaching! monday, i believe. what will you be doing to celebrate? we will be playing cello, baking, visiting with friends, thanking the sun and the night for all they give us. for all their lessons. we will be howling at the moon, ringing our bells and snuggling by the fire.

be well, you.
