December Moon



"The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow
gave a luster of midday to objects below."

~from Twas the Night Before Christmas

Frosty moon above my home sweet home.

    1. You should have seen it glowing off the snow last night! It reminded me of that Christmas poem.
      It does look like the world! Even the man in the moon was too cold to show his face! Lol

    1. Well, just wait....it's coming your way!
      Although, I know you don't 'believe' in wind chills.
      It was 3 degrees, if that makes you feel any better! ha.

    2. I believe in the so-called wind chill factor. Why do you think I don't?

  11. I walk the border collie at night and I noticed the lights were on most of the time. I have had to be so bundled up that I don't alway look up to see the beautiful moon.
