I was in for an interesting surprise just a bit later, after the sun had gone down and the sky darkened a bit: the sliver of the new moon appeared in the sky not too far above where the sun had set. So I got not only a sunset but a moon-set.

It's a bit tricky to describe, but due to the just-having-set sun, the ambient sunlight lit up the moon - not just the "sliver" portion, but the edge of the rest of moon's perimeter as well. It was, in a word, pretty awesome. A picture would've been nice, but, oh well, you'll just have to take my word for it, lol.

I've always appreciated your photos of your yard and the stunning views you have. Your lawn is to die for! At this moment in time, I think I have more crabapple grass and dandelion weeds. I know that I need to have my entire yard redone, it has to be seeded, I need loam, I need topsoil, I need to seed it (over the course of 3 years to maximize it, of course). Even then, I'm only talking about the front, sides and back. The rest of the yard is covered in trees, bushes, trees plants, trees, flowers and even more trees, all the way to the property lines. I also need to be replanting my rose bushes. Remember when they got chopped down by accident? I want to plant more flowers, but I'm looking for really fragrant blooms, as well as adding to my moon garden.
Your view is gorgeous. You're so lucky to be able to see that every day and night when you look out. I love where I live, but my view consists of:
trees!
lol

I've got lots of trees surrounding me too. I love them, but they sure keep me busy cleaning up after them: leaves, twigs, needles, pine cones, pitch, pollen, and whatever else the wind knocks out of them, lol.

I hear you on that front. I still have sawed up chunks of downed trees, fallen broken branches, pinecones galore, and twigs which have blown all over the roof and yard.
Today was beautiful outside, however. We had sunshine and temperatures in the 70s, but also these random sprinkles would pop up out of nowhere and it would be raining on one side of the road, but not the other. Of course, this also led to a lovely rainbow being shown through the sunlight!
