"It came upon a midnight clear,

That glorious song of old,

From angels bending near the earth,

to touch their harps of gold:

'Peace on the earth, goodwill to men

From heavens all gracious King!'

The world in solemn stillness lay

To hear the angels sing."

~written by Edmund Hamilton Sears in 1849

Do you hear them singing?

I think I do... their voices are 

clear and ringing in

the cold winter night's air.

Did you know nearly every full moon brings 

crystal clear skies and

crisp, cold air?

I don't know if it's a scientific fact or not,

but merely an observation

by one who is

quite adversely affected 

by

lunar nights. 

I don't exactly go outside and howl, 

but

I am afraid I lie awake

for 

half the night

as the brilliantly lit 

moon

illuminates the night.

We are in for some

welcome weather

over the next couple days.

Abundant rain in the desert

and

oodles of snow

in the mountains.

I'll try to capture some

images 

to share.

Until next time....

P.S. Today would have been my grandma's 

108th birthday...
