Boomer and I still go for walks in the moonlight. We both love it!
Back in the house, I put a couple of logs on the fire, then head back to bed. Sammy, our old cat, is trying to sleep in his spot on the bed, but the full moon lights up the whole room so much he has to cover his eyes. 🙂 It makes me smile to see him.
I leave the curtains open—I love the moon light. The west side of the house has a soft radiance filling the rooms caused from the silver beams coming through the curtainless windows. Suffusing everything in silver light.
January is the time of the Full Wolf Moon. The full moon names date back to Native Americans. January is the time of deep snows and very cold temperatures. It is also a time of starvation, thus the howling of the wolves in search of food.
This moon is also the second full moon after the solstice.
The Full Wolf Moon came into its full and dramatic beauty last night. It is most stunning!
As always your friend,
Linda
Life on a Colorado Farm 
I had a black Pug (Algy) years ago and we used to always walk the field path on the night of the full moon (if it wasn’t raining) and I used to always remark that I could still see him as it was so light. I too love the full moon.

It’s magical I do believe. A landscape of sliver and diamonds.

The light of the moon is a special light, isn’t it? I’ve often been woken by it when the light has travelled across the pillows to land on my face. It’s soft and gentle, but intense.

As the cows will be coming in for calving soon, I sure hope the wolves stay up in “them thar
mountains”. I think Boomer will agree with me on that one!

There are wolves in Paonia, but hopefully they haven’t migrated to the Uncompahgre…they are frightening.

Some of it’s other names are: Old Moon, Moon after Yule, Moon of the time of Hunger. I wonder what the moon is called in Europe, or the Cradle of Civilization or South America……

The wolf moon looks beautiful and delicate. I think it should be named the Cupcake Moon – I am also beautiful and delicate! 🙂

You know, I should do that. I would think the moons in Italy have a different name than ours. Thanks for the good idea!

Beautiful picture of the full moon, Linda! I noticed it last night, too. I woke up several times thinking it was morning and coffee time each time!! It was so bright! Had not heard of full wolf moon either, but love the names the Native Americans give everything.
Blessings!
