The full moon this month was glorious. Being out at the cabin and seeing it rise over the tree tops, and shine brightly in the ever darkening night sky was simply breath-taking. It also brought with it the highest tides of the summer, a 32 footer! We nearly waited too long to get off the beach Tuesday when we came back from the cabin. We had a few moments of driving in the sea water, which was nearly over our seats… yeah. I’d like to avoid any more of that! 😉
We are loosing light steadily now. You can tell the difference after about 9 pm. It’s getting more “dusky” at night now, and around midnight, you really could use a flashlight to head to the outhouse. It’s amazing how quickly it happens actually. In another couple of months we’ll be seeing plunging temps and much darker nights. We might actually need these headlights that they make us drive “on for safety” with.

Good link! We realized the days would be shortening rapidly when our flight left at midnight and it was pitch black! I enjoy your posts and fresh point if view. Wish we could spend more time together.
We watched the full moon come up at the Kauffman Stadium as our annual Royals game. It wasn’t quite the same without you and the kiddos! We thought the full moon coming up was pretty cool, but I’m sure it was not NEARLY as Beautiful as it was out at your Dad’s (strike that, make it YOUR) cabin.
