The other evening I was just sitting on the screen porch knitting, here in the South we live a lot on our screen porches when the weather is nice,when I felt this blue glow come onto the porch and I stopped knitting to see what it was, and that's when  I captured the moon.

It was breath taking, so much so that I took my camera upstairs to get a photo from the roof higher up, as in upstairs.

I kept hearing these words running through my head, …..completely stuck in my craw:

Yes, I'm being followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow moon shadow.

Leaping and hopping on a moonshadow,moonshadow moonshadow.

So what else was a girl to do but open up her pandora radio and make a cat stevens channel and what was the first song that came up?  Moonshadow.  There were also some other great tunes on my Cat Stevens channel like Crosby ,Stills, and Nash.

I  wanted to let everyone know about the incredible giveaway over at One Small Change. Tomorrow is earth day and One Small Change has pulled out all the stops. Winners to be announced tomorrow on Earth Day so head on over right now and put your name in for a chance at some great prizes.

Now that Moonshadow is probably running through your head too, I'll leave you with a little listen.

    My 12 year old boy use to only sing Cat Stevens songs when he was two years old. It was so funny….especially Father and Son.

    Now I feel much closer knowing that we were looking at the same moon in the same way. Email coming tomorrow. I’ve been so busy.

    I listened to so much Cat Stevens back in high school. I never thought of make a pandora station of him. Great idea!
