8:00 a.m.
Cloudy. 50 degrees and damp.
I will have to check the calendar, but I'd guess today marks a 1st quarter moon. A week from today will be full moon with a complete lunar eclipse.
The sky is a uniform gray. The air is heavy and everything seems gloomy and wet and dark: a woman who no longer weeps, but goes through her day with a heavy heart.
And yet the birds sing. They give life to the rows of pines along the lane. No one has told them to hush as they flutter amidst the trees.
Sing, my soul, sing! Dance with the birds. There will be time for weariness and sorrow; leave that for another day. Today we will spin circles, laugh and sing. We will embrace life with hope.
Come! Who will dance with me?
Today's reading: Psalm 37
Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. NIV
About Me
- Jean in Wisconsin
- I am both the wife of an engineer-turned-farmer in the beautiful hills of Wisconsin and the homeschooling mom of 3 teenagers. We raise Simmental cattle and grow corn, and soybeans. We also raise chickens and turkeys for our own use and have laying hens. We are giving our children a Christian classical education, and this is our 13th year of homeschooling. The night sky is my hobby. I sew, knit, bake bread, cook from scratch, grind wheat, garden, make soap and so much more! Also, I should not forget to tell you that we all love cats! Welcome!

I'll come and dance, Jean, if only to keep warm! It's rainy and ugly today! I noticed, too, that birds still seem to sing in the rain. Kind of cheers things. I watched a Blue Jay this morning as it was pestering the neighbour's cat. He kept swooping down past it. Bold little creatures, aren't they?
Your blog always leaves me with a sense of quiet... of peace. I am ready to snuggle in a comfy chair by a wood stove and watch the snow fall...only, I live in the balmy south, near the beach, and we almost never have snow...and I certainly don't have a wood stove! I'll have to just employ my imagination! Oh well, maybe I can entice you to come dance on the beach...the seagulls will join us!

I dance on the Florida beach at my sister's last November. I'd come!
