Full moon

The branches I intended…the wire, I couldn’t help.

Full moon.

***RV notes: Propane furnace won’t light and previous fix of starting engine did not resolve. The frig does not show a fault like it did last time the furnace failed. Fortunately it is not super cold and I have a heat pump for when the temp is above 40 (9 a.m. – 7:30/8:00 p.m.), electric heaters and a floor heating system with the engine. We’ll be fine until Wednesday when we have an appointment at a shop.

***Auggie and Bear saw the vet here today. Routine stuff that I ran out of time for before I left home. All well and a very nice vet.

Hopefully a calmer night today and day tomorrow – Friday!

Sunday Sliver

A beautiful clear morning at 7:24 a.m. As I write this, at 8:03 which is sunrise here, a foggy mist is rising in the woods.

It is 39F, forecast to be sunny with a high of 62F and tomorrow to 68F. It is still shorts weather – on October 19 and 20!

Happy Sunday!

Waning crescent: sliver of a moon

The super moons are beautiful as the rise and set are extra large and bright, but my favorite moon stage is the crescent…when the moon is a sliver…as it was this morning.

Waxing Gibbous

Bear and I walked at the sunset hour.

There was a pink-orange alpenglow to the East and a fiery-orange sunset to the West as we strolled through the woods.

And overhead…

A 3/4 waxing Gibbous on the way to full (4/14) and then a full lunar eclipse on 4/15…I dearly hope it is clear on 4/15.

Friday morning moon set

This morning, Bear and I headed down the road home at 8:10 a.m. to catch moon set.

My moon phase app said 8:40 for moon set.

We went prepared: water and treats for Bear, coffee for me.

Beautiful.

To the West.

Friday morning moon set.
