Full Wolf Moon / Cold Moon - January 2025

After a relatively mild winter we were hit with a cold snap and sub-zero temperatures, so it is a Cold Moon indeed

Chat Bot AI spits out this haiku

Chill moon in January,
Silver whispers through the night,
Winter's breath held tight.

I much prefer Basho (1687)

The moon glows the same:
  it is the drifting cloud forms
  make it seem to change.

In the political climate, our embattled Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resigned (Jan. 6), while south of the border Donald Trump's inauguration is scheduled (Jan 20). Uncertain times as Trump is blustering about Canada becoming the 51st state. How different the political climate feels versus the U.S. Democratic victories in the past decade.

In the north where snowflakes cascade,

Maple syrup and kindness displayed.
If Canada’s next,
In states they’ll connect,
With a "Hey, y’all," as a warm accolade!

Happy 2025.
