"...He who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night...the LORD almighty is His name" (Jeremiah 31:35).
We're never too old to learn something new. Whether it's a new revelation from Scriptures, something about life in general, a helpful marriage tip, or something scientific. Last night, we were intrigued by the ring around the moon and we wanted to learn more about it. Curtis soaked up all the new information that he learned about a "lunar halo" and wrote it down to share with his teacher. This is what we learned about the "lunar halo":
"...halos are a sign of high thin cirrus clouds drifting 20,000 feet or more above our heads. These clouds contain millions of tiny ice crystals. The halos you see are glints of light from these ice crystals..." (www.earthsky.org)
Another example of God's amazing handiwork!
Continuing to give thanks...

Great list! I have always wanted to see Maple sap/syrup collected. Is it syrup already or do you have to do something to it? I live in N.W. Kenya among the Turkana people. We are just below Ethiopia and can actually drive there in a couple of hours across the desert. I just stopped over from Ann's site. Love your list!
Hi Lynn. Thanks for "stopping by". The maple sap was actually frozen (we had a couple of cold days). It takes many buckets of sap to be boiled and made into syrup. How amazing that you're "stopping by" from Africa. Are you missionaries? Blessings,
Anna
