the super moon

Favourite thing on Saturday: seeing the super moon. Thanks to Zoe, we learned that this moon comes once every eighteen years, is 20,000 miles closer to earth, and, as a result, is super bright--hence the super moon. We noticed it Saturday evening walking to Zoe's and, true to Zoe's report, it seemed brighter, sharper, and bigger than the full moon on an ordinary night. It was also beautiful to see the moon suspended just above the pond and the moonlight reflecting off the ice and snow.
