Spring is well along here in the north--the only places where snow remains on the ground now are shady areas and places which had had snow piled up deeper than normal (sliding off of the roof, or shoveled off the driveway) and grass and a few other early-waking plants are beginning to turn green here and there. These changes are, of course, caused by the return of the sun and while it isn't up anywhere near as long as it will be at mid-summer sunset today was officially at 21:12, which meant that when I looked out the window at 22:30 it was to see a nearly full moon filling a deep blue sky to the south. Therefore, of course, I went out for a quick walk--the sky to the north west was still a much paler blue, too bright for stars, so only one particularly bright planet glimmered in the sky. I love living in the north, and I love moonlight walks, but this may be the last one I get before autumn--soon it will be too bright all night for the moonlight to change anything.
a beautiful night
Dec. 3rd, 2014 11:23 pmI worked from home today, so got no exercise. Therefore I went out for a walk this evening. It was a beautiful moonlit night, so when I got to the place where our road crosses the water I couldn't resist turning left and heading out onto the frozen lake, enjoying the way the thin layer of snow atop the ice glistened in the moonlight. Such a beautiful and peaceful setting.
I thought about turning left again when I reached the bottom of our property, but it was such a beautiful night I couldn't bear to end the walk so soon, so instead I continued on to where the water passes under the main road, and took another left, and then again onto our street to wend my way home. Have I mentioned lately how much I love living in northern Sweden? Even though today was a warm day (+5 C!), the ice is doing ok and I can walk out upon the water and enjoy the view.
Then, after I got home![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lord_kjar and I got to chat via skype with a loved one, and that was delightful, too. Now my daily yoga is done, and I need to get some sleep. I hope you all have had as nice an evening as I have.
