Hello 2018!
What an amazing beginning to a new year.
I awoke at 2:30 in the morning and could not go back to
sleep to save my life. So I got up, opened the back door and greeted the new
year. And what a view! The full moon lit everything up so brightly,
it was almost like daylight. This is the “Super Moon” - the “Wolf
Moon” as some tribes called it. So named
because this was the time of year wolves could be heard howling with hunger.
The moonlight splashed over everything. I doubt even a mouse
could move without being seen. The snow was unbroken and looked like
marshmallow creme in the pasture. The air was cold, crisp and refreshing. To
even take a breath filled my lungs with the a feeling of cleansing. The air was
completely still; silent in the new year morning. Not even the owls were
calling.
I stood there for what seemed like forever, but was probably
one a few minutes. I was cold but didn’t want to close the door. To be witness
to what Mother Nature provided, and to feel such a sense of freshness and
renewal was almost overwhelming. I wish I would have thought to try and get a
photo.
Here’s to a new year full of promise, adventure and
possibilities - it’s going to be a good one!
