oh, the weather outside is...perfect

We may not have the snow here in Texas, but the weather has us looking toward Christmastime as much as anyone. While letting my dog out just a few minutes ago, I stepped outside to see the moon, clear and round. The sky is cloudless, and the air has a crisp chill to it. It's 54 degrees, cool enough to want a light jacket if you will be standing in the wind for any length of time, but perfect if you just want to gaze at the Full Cold Moon of December. Some evenings it has dipped into the 30s, but tonight we are holding steady in the mid 50s.

A note on the previous post: I have an odd obsession with time. I love watches and clocks and calendars, sundials and hourglasses. I am sure that could be psychoanalyzed in some unpleasant way. Nevertheless, I know I am feeling right well and hearty when I start looking at calendars and the traditions that we encounter as we travel the yearly circuit. If you have anything you would like to have remembered or posted, let me know. I would love to have your birthdays noted, so send them along too!
