stick horse in progress

This is a demonstration of the stick horse process. First gather materials essential to the task... a sock, batting, a stick, felt, yarn, ribbon and other adornments and things yet unknown.
Stuff the sock part way.
Make a pattern and create eyes, ears, nose, mouth with felt, magic marker or other ways.
Here's our horse part way done.

i saw the supermoon...

This is the Supermoon rising over Lake Fegan, directly east of our home. The bright light at the bottom of the screen is the nightlight at one of the rest areas. And what comes up must go down, the second picture, looking west out my window, is the moon setting over the horse pens. This sounds like a song ... or maybe not.

FYI, a supermoon is one that is 90% or greater of its closest approach to Earth... this was the closest in 18 years. It was a beautiful sight on Saturday night, March 19, 2011.
