The other night we had one of the biggest, brightest moons of the year. \u00a0On my Susan Branch calender it is called the Green Corn Moon. \u00a0 I had every intention of staying up and looking at it and looking for the meteor showers we were suppose to be getting that night also.<\/p>\n

Sadly, sleepiness overcame my desire to stay up and look at the moon. \u00a0So, while I snoozed upstairs, David got the tripod out and took some spectacular pictures of it for me.<\/p>\n

This is our front garden at night. \u00a0It looks magical, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n

There were some clouds that night. \u00a0David wasn’t sure he would get a good shot of the old man in the moon.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9050\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But then, there he appeared. \u00a0A glorious, shining orb in the sky.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9051\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Just absolutely gorgeous. \u00a0To think, men have walked upon the face of the moon.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9060\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you look at these \u00a0quickly, it looks like the moon is bouncing in the air. \u00a0To think, God formed this with his own hand and placed it in the sky for us to dream upon, wish upon, and kiss under. \u00a0How many romantic stories have the moon as a backdrop? \u00a0Ancient men looked at this very moon and probably wondered about it. \u00a0We are looking at the very moon Jesus looked upon while he was living on this earth. \u00a0Galileo looked at this moon. \u00a0Michelangelo and every human who has ever lived has looked at this moon. \u00a0It’s nice to know we do share things in common with people all around the world.<\/p>\n

Some people said the moon was made of cheese. \u00a0That would be enough cheese to feed people for thousands of years I expect.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9051\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t know when the next big, bright moon will be, but I hope I won’t sleep through it.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9028\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In other news, I gave this quilt to a newly married couple this week. \u00a0People had signed blocks.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9034\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It originally started as a twin bed and grew like Topsy until it became a king size quilt. \u00a0I quilted it all on my sewing machine. \u00a0I think they were happy to get it.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9098\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is the birdhouse my sister-in-law Terry painted for me. \u00a0This is a picture of a hibiscus from our garden.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9100\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A sunflower on one side.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9099\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A coneflower on the other. \u00a0She didn’t get to finish it, but I still think it’s beautiful and it will make some bird very happy.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9110\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Since I have been talking about the moon, here is some material with the stars and galaxies on it. \u00a0I am going to make someone something with this.<\/p>\n

And now for some pink. \u00a0It seems pink is the ever present color in my garden.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9104\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"DSCN9093\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"DSCN9092\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"DSCN9091\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I hope you saw the moon this week. \u00a0It’s been a busy one with a revival going on at our church, the garden bursting at the seams with vegetables, finishing a quilt, \u00a0and Friday, a new puppy is coming to live with us. \u00a0What more could one ask for? \u00a0Bye.<\/p>\n
