I just want to tell you about the other night... our daughter beckoned us to come outside to see what she just saw.
A flash of light was racing across the sky at a terrific speed!
It turned out that this was the International Space Station, we later found out after our son googled to see what it was.
Over South Africa, was where it was heading for, so did not have time to go and get the camera.
Then as we stood out on the deck looking up at the amazing night sky and pointing out the stars and which ones we could name, makes one think a lot of the wonderment of the universe.
Then as if that wasn't amazing enough, the full moon started rising up, a huge dark blood orange colour appeared and was an awesome sight, lighting up the dark night sky.
Spending a wonderful time with family home for the holidays, makes for a joyful time
We will soon be given a brand new year ahead and this is such a wonderful gift.
My sincere thanks to all my dear readers for the kindness you have shown me, visiting my blog and reading what I write. I am grateful for everyone of you.

Carolyn, this is a wonderful New Year's post. I would loved to have seen that moon, what a sight. The beach DOES look lovely. Sometimes I miss it so much, but got a chance to see it recently when I visited Jess for Thanksgiving. I appreciate you and your blog, and I look forward to more of your delightful posts in the coming year.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, dear Carolyn!

Oh sometimes I wish more people would look up to the skies ...
ReplyDeleteMany good wishes, to you and yours, for 2016
All the best Jan

What an incredible thing to witness with your family.
I'm nursing my flu, got over the worst I guess but will hit the mattress again and drink lots of fluids.

How awesome to be able to have seen the space station jet across the sky Carolyn! I missed that great full moon but my daughter told me all about it.
ReplyDeleteThose lilies in the first photo are beautiful! I forget you are an entire 2 seasons ahead of me.

ReplyDeleteDearest Carolyn,
ReplyDeletethis must have been a really amazing night! Oh, and may be that we saw the "same" moon, cause if it was full moon here it seemed to be orange, too...
Thank you so much for your good wishes - I could see your Christmas post and I'm sure you had a great time with your beloved ones - and I hope you also could start into the New Year in the very best way!
Lots of hugs my dear and HAPPY 2016!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dearest Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteHow exciting... Now that is a night to remember..
How very sweet of you to come visit and leave such a kind note at my door... Wishing you good health and happiness in the new year. So you are needle felting? Wonderful! I think you will love it.. But yes, be very careful with those needles.. The barbs at the end are so tiny I cannot see them, but know they are there.. I have poked myself more times than I care to remember. I am enjoying this new creative venture with the crocheting.. Then I needle felt the details.. I find it is a very enjoyable combination. Thank you so much for your kind words. I am so grateful for your friendship.
blessings,
Penny
