"Momentum of Moons" Deb's threads run through this group of moons. I couldn't find a collective noun for moons. Perhaps a "jupiter of moons"? (Jupiter has the most, 79!)
Lake Washington just before dusk, about a mile down and around the hill from home.
One good thing about this pandemic is how it's forcing folks to get creative. A friend and I have come up with several new date ideas to replace our usual restaurant dates. Last evening, we met at the lake (above) with our camping chairs, coats, gloves, hats, and blankets (along with a bit of wine in our travel mugs for extra warmth). We've done this a few times, watching the moonrise and talking until we're shivering or need a bathroom.
We've taken our lunches (and blankets) to various lakeside spots around the city, and to a deserted college campus. And there was a lovely afternoon taking the ferry. People who drive on are being asked to stay in their cars, so, as walk-ons, we had the seating area almost to ourselves. After a beautiful hour long ride across the Puget Sound, we found a bench on the other side, and enjoyed our lunches with a new water view. It's been great to spend our time together outside, and much cheaper! We've agreed that we should keep meeting up in these ways even after things go back to normal.
Tomorrow K and I are going to drive to Portland for the day to celebrate his sister's birthday with her. There will be soup and cake on her porch. It will be nice to see her and different views. K will drive so I'll be able to spend hours knitting on the deep purple socks that are on my needles.
All of these things would have seemed so small a year ago, not even worth mentioning. Now they are highlights and full of possible fascinations.
"Dancing With the Moon" Both sides of the printed cloth on the bottom are showing, because I couldn't decide. Doesn't Tina's pink just make this moon glow?
