While other blogs talk about their nature walks and show lovely photos of butterflies, flowers and birds, I look out my window and watch for the snowstorm that is blowing its way in. Will I get to go out to my meeting tonight or not?

This is what my daffodils and tulips look like.

Total Lunar Eclipse

The sky was beautiful last night as the earth's shadow made its way across the moon. I took pictures even though I knew they wouldn't turn out. They didn't.

At one point the sky was clear of all clouds and the stars sang out their accompaniment to the main event. Fantastic. We even got to see a few small Northern lights.

I loved it.
