Aristarchus on Earth's Moon

Moon Waxing Gibbous

Vergennes, Vermont

The next full Moon is 1 August at 2:31 PM EDT, the Sturgeon Moon.

Note on the center edge left a tiny white dot, on zoom appears to be a crater. I believe that is Aristarchus, a 40 KM (25 mile) diameter crater.

 

The Moon, Writing & Reading

 Identifying a photograph is important as adding the 

who, what when, where and 

sometimes the how to an article. 

For the Moon photo, I added the 

where and when in the caption. 

The  photo was first posted 

on this blog on 7 July 2017.

Thinking back on writing, I've taken more writing courses in my life time that I have art courses beginning with journalism in high school to experimental writing in college. I could not tell you in a conversation the technical terms of grammar, techniques of writing or even the define the types of writing with good accuracy.

Over time we can develop habits. For example, I use but, and, sometimes, and thus too often. Keeping our writing skills fresh can be done by reading, fiction as well as non fiction.

Twice a year, I make a summer and winter reading list that is mainly books recommended by bloggers. I also subscribed to Good Reads.

Today I will be reading, doing laundry, staying indoors, and, washing floors. At the moment, it is time to make coffee.

Have a wonderful day!

Something New To Try

What?

Whatever it is,

it cannot include spending.

Hmmm?

Maybe the feeling of wanting to try something new will 

wan like the Moon. 

Ah!

The dark gray dense packing foam I've save will make a good armature.

Has This Ever Happened To You?

You have a great blog idea. You log in, read emails, and open the blog space to type. The idea has poofed, gone, forgotten?

Changed a room around during winter blahs, and days later, sunshine lands on things that fade in sunshine? 

Had one glitch with a website multiply into many glitches? 

As February aka Valentine's Day month nears, you happen to think about candy? Feel you need candy?

Think rinsing the sugar off the jumbo gum drops is a good compromise for reducing sugar intake? (tsk tsk) 

~~~~~~~

Today has been one hassle via glitches after another.  Earth's lovely and only satellite, the Moon, is presently waxing gibbous at 95%.  Ah, methinks, no wonder! 

How is your winter going?

Have a hassle free week-end!
