Wolf Moon

I learned a new phrase this weekend. The "Wolf Moon" is the brightest full-moon of the year, i.e., the full moon when our satellite is closest to mother earth. And this weekend featured the Wolf Moon of 2010.

Thursday afternoon was beautiful and I took a walk out North Douglas along Fish Creek. A little slippery - but amazingly mild for the end of January. It was quite beautiful.

Wolves howling at the moon at the Prospector later that evening. AH OOOOOOOOOHHHH!

Otherwise a fairly uneventful weekend. I took Cousin Sandra to the airport on Saturday. Pork Roast at the elders on Sunday. The usual chores. It is still amazingly mild...feels like mid-March.

A busy medical week ahead. Auntie has medical appointments Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. It will be interesting, I'm sure...
