The sky at night

Did anyone look at the sky last night over north central Tennessee?
The sun set like a huge red-orange ball on the horizon. It was a marvelous view as it slowly sank on the horizon and became larger and larger as it went down in the west. A couple of hours later, the moon was up in the east.It looked like a large search light shining down on everything below.

My daughter and I went out about 10 PM for a walk with one of our dogs. A walk before bed helps us unwind our brains and reconnect as a family after we both have had busy days. She is in her first week at college so her mind is racing on multiple levels.

The clouds were covering the moon as we began our walk, but the reflective light still illuminated our way as we walked around the streets of our neighborhood in the meadow. Our neighborhood used to be a farmer's field years ago. It is surrounded by trees as farmers fields usually are. I refer to it as the meadow or my home in the meadow because it is a word picture the ministers peace to me soul.

I have choosen a hecktic lifestyle as many of you probably have. I have found that when I take the time to use descriptive words for natural things it allows my mind to take a mini-vacation from the pace of my day. That's why I am blogging about nature. It is my creative outlet for ministering to my own mind.
