Orange Crescent Moon

By the same measure that the crescent moon preceded the sun at dawn last Thursday, tonite it lags at sunset. A thin crescent hangs over the hills in the western sky, orange and dim and barely visible thru the smoke blown north from the burning fields and forests in Mexico.

That smoke made the skyline difficult to see from the freeway as we drove north this morning. And, I don't know, but that smoke might have made it a bad day to run around the lake on our drive back south.

I do know this, however. An orange crescent moon is hanging in the nighttime sky. And I am soon to lay me down to sleep.
