Moonlight

A long day, just very tired tonight.......but an incredible drive home.  Almost a full moon tonight.......as I left work the moon shimmered in the night sky.....off to the east the clouds that had brought rain to day were still hanging low......off to the west, nothing but stars.  The temps are dropping, as I drove up and down the hills, fog rolled in......one minute there were stars and a big silver moon,  the next minute.......so foggy you couldn't see anything.
It was that way for the fifteen miles or so home.......stars, moon.......then fog......over and over.

I hope you all are bathed in moonlight tonight.  What makes it so magical?  To step outside on a chilly autumn night, see the stars and then realize that everything around you is bathed in moonlight.....it seems ethereal, other worldly, and then to have the fog lying low......it's just not something you see every day.  Isn't it wonderful how the ordinary can become so extraordinary!

Tomorrow we have to bring the trees inside......freeze warnings!  Yes, we have several trees that live in our house in the winter......a mango, a couple of avocado trees, a lemon, a grapefruit.......I have to admit by tomorrow night we will have a forest inside our house!  It's always an adventure when we bring the trees in,
it never fails........some creatures come  in too.  There have been lizards, chipmunks, all sorts of critters that have to be caught and carried back outside.   It is rather cozy with the trees, sorta of like living in a tree house on ground level.

As I said earlier, I am very tired, and there is still much to do tonight.  I have written early, hoping that I can climb into my warm comfy bed soon.
I wish you all moonlight and stars, restful sleep, and sweet dreams.
