Wolf Moon

Last night was one of those nights when the full moon looks brighter, and larger, and CLOSER than usual. When it arose, the sun was still up. And when we woke this morning at sunrise, the moon was still well up in the sky as the sun rose.

Because of the Wolf Moon, the tide this morning is a full foot below normal low tide. That exposed 25 more feet of beach. Interesting to think about what will happen if the seas all rise a foot.

We had a very nice dinner last night at MIYC. Caprese salad and Osso Buco. Both prepared expertly. And a glass of red wine that cost more than I typically pay for a bottle. My choice.

It’s much colder today – 47 degrees, but going up to the mid 70’s.

Just now, I’m enjoying a second cup of coffee – the one the poets praise and the songwriters celebrate. Listening to an acoustic playlist that Alexa chose for me. Very nice.

My dog, however, is absolutely hyper this morning. Is it the cool temperature? The Wolf Moon? I’m not sure, but it looks like I have to sign off and take Guinness for a run. Now that I mention it, I feel my own ears getting hairy and pointed…hmmm.

  1. Well, it’s a quiet day in Pittsburgh. It was 12 degrees when I woke just before dawn this morning. Pretty sky: soft pink morphing to peach. It’s supposed to go up to freezing this afternoon. Yay!

    The Wolf Moon on Thursday night brought the police to my door ringing the bell at 11 pm Thursday night. They received a call about yelling and knocking somewhere near my house a few minutes before. Actually, I heard the same noise, got up, looked out the window, saw nothing and went back to bed. Friday I called to follow up on this unsettling situation and was told that there had a been a “wellness check” at a neighbor’s house which might have caused the disturbance. (Eye roll.)

    Enjoy the warmth and sunshine. We’re expecting 3 to 5″ of snow overnight with continued below freezing temps and wind. Spring is coming 🙂

    Although this may sound sarcastic, I do like 4 seasons. Sometimes, though, when the furnace kicks on every 10 minutes and I sitting still feels cold, I do envy 70 degrees and sunshine.

    Enjoy your trip!
