Eclipse of The Wolf Moon

The 20th of January. The fabled super blood wolf moon was rising in the east. Meanwhile, the western sky was demanding its share of the attention. "Beat this, moon" it said.

After nightfall, we lay in the grass, shivering. The kids squabbled, the cats pounced. Finally, deprived of its reflected light, the moon revealed its true nature, that of an exquisitely round rock spinning in the sky.

The year has been good to us so far. Knock on wood and fingers crossed that things continue to get better.
