A Discovery

I love reading.


I love reading blogs.  There's wondrous variety out there in the interwebs.


Today I clicked a link that took me to Cold Antler Farm.  After you read the passage she wrote below, I bet you'll click the link and take the trip too.

Everyone out there enjoying this Wolf Moon? That's what the Almanac calls it. The November moon is a big bright beam out there, and the last few nights it has been so bright It cast shadows inside the farm house at night. Deer walking around the yard stand out like make believe things in the blue light. Folklore says the night right after the full moon is a time to prayer to remove things from your life that are negative, bad thoughts, fear, guilt, all of it. As the moon wains into dark it's supposed to carry those prayers home. I don't think it can hurt. Wolves after all, are very fast dogs.

The Cherry Trees are Shedding

Saturday Spirit

On Saturday, two of my nieces participated in a Cheerleading competition.

 Getting ready includes glitter eyeshadow...

coordinating bows on the 'high and tight' ponytails,

and a run through in the other gym...

Here's an atmosphere shot.  Below the balloon arch was a smoke machine that activated when the first cheerleader led their group onto the mat.

My younger niece's team on the floor.

For family readers - she is in the back left position in the rest of these.  Forgive the quality, I used my 50mm lens because it is easy to carry and blew up the images.

We've got spirit

Yes we do

We've got spirit

How about you?

This tree drags its feet each year when it's time to change colors...but when it finally does it's almost an overnight transformation.
