of the silvery moon - I got up last night in the middle of the night and had no trouble finding my way to the bathroom. It was because the moon was amazingly bright. I guess all those years surrounded by the street lights diminished the moon's light. But here, I can see the moon and a sky full of stars - they have no competition from artificial light. I remember last summer driving through the national forest and the sky was as bright as it could be and lit up the trees in an extravagant light...it took my breath away as I drove through the darkness of the forest, enrobed with the light.
So many things here take my breath away and make me stop - fields of corn and hay, the smell of the rain as it soaks the earth, seeing the "critters" that live around us, the deer, the rabbits and others, the mountains in view through most of my windows. It is a joy to wash your dinner dishes, when you have such a spectacular view of mountains and the woods just outside the window. Tonight, I plan to sit out and watch the fireflies (we call them "fairy lights") and do nothing else but listen to the cicadas. Now, it is time to be off to work.
Be blessed,
Kim
