the snow and the moon.

I smelled snow in the air this morning. You know that really crisp smell with something else there, something clean. I don't know how to describe it, but I smelled it this morning. When we walked to the dining hall the whole valley was in a cloud and the staff was talking about snow. But alas, the snow did not come today. Soon though!

Tonight the moon is full and very bright! It is one of those nights where the moonlight casts shadows and you don't need a flashlight. I remember these kind of nights at the camp I worked at in Wisconsin. It was so peacefully, and the night seemed less scary when the moon was that bright. It is so bright tonight that it is out-shining the stars, which is pretty hard here since we are in the middle of nowhere and have no light polution. All I can say is that it is spectacular and I feel blessed that I get to experience this!

The same moon was full and bright in MN last night as well. I was up in the middle of the night and had to check and see if the backyard light was on, it was so bright! When you look at the moon in Colorado, I will be looking at the same moon and thinking of you. Love you and miss you. Mom
