Last night we spent some quality time with the family at the park. The kids played on the playgrounds for awhile and then we took a nice walk along the river. Actually, Cora and Cohen took a nice RUN along the river and Geron and I had a somewhat relaxing walk. As we left the park, we decided to take the long way home and saw the most beautiful harvest moon, a pretty orange shade and it even had a 'face' smiling at us. Geron asked if I knew what made the moon look the way it did. I took astronomy in college and barely passed. I studied hard enough to ace the final only so I could barely get by the full-course with a C. That being said, I don't remember much about why the moon looked orange. Cora piped up from the back seat, though, on why the moon was high in the sky and I thought it was too cute not to post.
"When the sun goes down and the trees get black, that when the moon goes high up in the sky." (Being a bit artistic, I love the way she noticed that the trees look black in the moonlight.)

I also took astronomy in college and probably wouldn't have passed expect for a huge curve from the professor. I too don't know why the moon does that and am impressed with Cora's descriptive detail.
