i was wondering what night last week was the new moon because it was so dark onour night hikes and found this website. maybe not too aestheically pleasing, but there's a neat feature showing the moon cycles for almost every date. my first and 12th birthdays had full moons. :)

wow...they're releasing a red rocks CD soon, and from the tracklisting, it looks like it's going to be an amazing disc. funny that's it's advertised as being available at best buy. strange. i wonder if it will be available anywhere else...

it's spring here. well, i assume it's pretty much spring everywhere, being after march 21, but it really looks like spring here. :) i've never lived in someplace where i was surrounded by the woods - i have loved watching the seasons change. the bright green tips of the emerging leaves makes for a gorgeous landscape. after many months of bare branches, it's a refreshing sight. i now understand the crayola shade of 'spring green'. (they have a color now named 'fuzzy wuzzy brown'. on the count of three 1..2..3...awwwwwww :) ) i never liked that green much when i was growing up, but i think i will have a newfound like for it. midnight blue was always my favorite. (apparently many others like it - it's ranked at #4 on the crayola favorites list) happy spring!
