Evening sky

Pretty soft colours of the evening sky on Monday evening .. not spectacular .. just pretty! This is the view I have from my kitchen window ('Gerry's house' the one with the mole, brothel and now a loving family home is below, out of picture)

.. and the nearly full moon was shining brightly ..

There was an old woman tossed up in a basket

Seventeen times as high as the moon

Where she was going I couldn't but ask her

For in her hand she carried a broom

"Old woman, old woman, old woman", quoth I

"Where are you going to up so high"

"To brush the cobwebs off the sky"

"May I go with you, yes, by and by"
