In The Cold Frosty Morning

At 5:30 this morning, I received the following text from my oldest son Christopher:

"If you go outside in the southwest is the crescent Moon. To the left in the 9 o'clock position you can see Venus with the naked eye."

So I grabbed my coat and shoes and phone and trudged down the stairs and out the door.

I had to walk a bit for a clear view past the power lines and trees.

But there it was, just as he said, and I told him so.

He replied, Nice. I was worried about light pollution since it's so faint."

It was a beautiful start to the morning.
