Cheshire Cat Moon

Last month when I was in Carrollton, my daughter texted that the moon, Venus, and Jupiter were visible in the west. I went out…it was a clear night…and the horizon was clear enough to see all three. I opted to take a picture of the moon since my camera could focus on it well enough to see some craters. It also reminded me of the Alice in Wonderland Cheshire Cat – where the cat’s body has disappeared and all that is left is its iconic grin.

Earlier this week, I glanced out my office window just after 9 PM and saw the Cheshire Cat moon in the treetops. It is the ‘grin without the cat’ of Alice in Wonderland fame. I took a picture, of course. It was a fun way to end the day – a little spice to the routine of shutting down screens and turning off the light…to do some reading before bedtime.

The routine of my days is like a comfortable base…that increases my notice and appreciation of little things like the moon in the treetops. The mix of mundane and serendipity makes every day a good one!
