April 22, 2016. Madison, Mississippi. The Full Moon.

The full moon is shining across the reservoir which makes for a lovely sight.  From our living room it appears that you could walk along the path across the water.  From the bedroom, the sight is just as beautiful but you see the leaves on the tree interrupting the path.   The setting for our house is perfect.  In the morning, the sun comes up across the reservoir so I can see the sunrise from my bed.  By mid-morning, the trees filter out the bright sun and by noon the sun is no longer shining on the deck.  We overlook the lake with the evening breezes coming off the lake and we are shaded from the sun.  Perfect exposure, especially important in the south.

If we were inclined, we could sit on the deck in our comfortable chairs around Ken's new toy and feel the warmth from the little propane furnace.    And we could watch the moon streaming across the water.    Ken assembled the toy and is now running perfectly.  We tried it out this evening.  Our builder was impressed too, along with me.   Unfortunately, the weather is getting warm but perhaps in the evenings we will need warming up.  It certainly looks pretty even if we don't need the heat.  If I was not wearing my night shirt, I might go outside and try it out so we can enjoy the beauty of the moon.  For now, we will view the sight from inside our home.  Perhaps next full moon we will be adventuresome and go outside…and maybe not.   Pretty nice looking from inside.
