BRISK & BRACING MORNING WALK WITH MY BIG DOG...

Lovely, clear sky all night long, with the brightness of the moon shining down into my windows... 

At 6 a..m., the pre-dawn skies held the brightest, closest-to-the-earth stars I have seen in some time. It seemed I could have reached right up and touched them!

Twenty-seven degrees this morning, and yesterday's squishy-thick mud is now hard-packed, hard-frozen and glistening in my flashlight's beam. Who knew mud could hold a bit of beauty?!?

Take care! There may be black ice underneath your feet when you walk outside this morning. (Once again, thank God and my friend Connie that I am walking with her gift of YakTrax underneath my shoes!)
