Moonlighting


While wintering in the Southwest, we enjoy a beautiful sunset nearly every evening. Later on the stars come out, twinkling like heavenly jewels on a bed of black velvet. For about 3 hours last Friday night, we were treated to the sight of a lovely crescent moon aligned with a dazzling Venus. This was the last view of the dynamic duo, as Venus is now sliding down into the western sky and this display will not be seen again until next Spring. You will have to agree---God certainly knows how to put on a show!
