Some mornings, Gwen wakes me up before everyone else in the house. It’s so weird to have no dogs underfoot, no toddler noises, the sound of their daddy’s fingers tapping his computer keys. 
This morning was one of those- I decided to walk outside to greet the sun, just as it was coming up over the houses across the street. It made the sky look like it was on fire- so pretty.
I finally made it out for a full moon! Brrrr it was chilly. They call February’s full moon the snow moon, but, it wasn’t THAT cold. Phew. 
So, January’s full moon is called a Wolf Moon. This was a day late from the full moon, so, technically a waning moon. But, still huge and almost creepy on such a cloudy night, with that glow around it.
This is a red shouldered hawk. We have several that like to hang around. We keep hoping that the rumors about hawks taking off with chihuahuas are true (we have a particularly annoying 24/7 yelper next door). Our weenies can hold their own, though.
I miss taking pictures of the moon. Maybe by the time we have a full moon again, I’ll be able to get out there again.
