you shine on us..


tonight i went on a long and much needed drive with my friend rebecca... we wanted to see all the stars we could so we went out to petit jean and watched the sky for a long time... fyi.. the best possible theme music for star-gazing is a song called vaka.. look it up it will change your life :) anyway... tonight God was pulling out all the stops.. the sky was unusually clear and we saw tons of shooting stars... i wished on every one of them, of course.. and with one of my wishes i wished for snow.. i WANT snow in arkansas before i leave for australia... it's of the utmost importance!! and even though it doesn't look like it's in the forecast anytime soon.. i believe it will happen.. snow is better as a surprise anyway right? but i think i should tell you... the stars were not alone in the sky tonight... the moon was there too.. but it wasn't just the same ol' moon we see every night.. no, tonight the moon had a halo around it.. becca and i kept trying to figure out the significance of a halo around the moon.. i even asked cha cha... but it did me no good... cha cha always has lame answers anyway.. so when i got home i googled it... and do you know what?? as fate would have it... its an old myth that a ring around the moon is sometimes used to predict snow... how perfect :)

i saw on the weather that there's a chance of snow showers on Wednesday morning!!!

And Richard Barber told me that a halo around the moon is caused by a heightened level of moisture in the atmosphere... meaning that rain/snow is sure to come in the next few days. Ya know, an ol' farmers way of predicting the weather haha
