Tonight was particularly spectacular, the night was cold and crystal clear, and the moon shadows were stark against a fresh blanket of snow. The moon was encircled by an enormous halo caused by the refraction of ice crystals high in the sky. It was quite a sight.

Blue and I took the opportunity to do a little sledding by moonlight. And as it should be, the sledding was followed by a steaming cup of hot cocoa for me and a "cookie" for Blue.

Jill, I was thinking of you last night - as I kept looking outside in awe, at the amazing moon and how BRIGHT everything was, with the white white snow....I just KNEW you'd post about it. :) and I'm so glad you did! So, does Blue ride on the sled with you, or just follow you down??
Yep, it was just too spectacular to pass up.
Blue isn't a big fan of actually riding on the sled, but she loves to run alongside.
