Staring at Venus


It was a lovely weekend full of lots of fun things. I did see that Venus was visible above the moon late last week but driving home from NH on Saturday night, it was well below the crescent moon and brightly shining. I love looking at the stars in a clear night sky.


The girls headed north for some cross country skiing. It was on the cold side but one thing you are guaranteed with this activity is getting really, really warm very quickly. It was fun and good to get out and play outside. I did feel a bit bad when I got tired as my friend had run a 5K prior to skiing. Then I remembered she is a superhero and I was ok. The funny thing was we ended up running into another friend completely at random. Neither of us knew the other would be there. And for us to meet up at just the right time and on the same trail was indeed a pretty amazing coincidence!

Today the highlight was not the Superbowl but puppy breath from the roly-poly, warm and very sleepy new puppy of my Aunt and Uncle. I was the lucky recipient of many little puppy kisses :-) and fell immediately in love with the little guy. There is nothing like puppy breath!
