december stars

I went for a spectacular walk in the woods last night. Put on leggings, long flowing but layered black skirt, one of my favorite warm womens sweaters, appropriate undergarments and inserts, and unisex wool socks, gloves and fleece vest.
It was a brilliant December night with the stars shining through the ghostly trees and a wind fluttering my skirt about. Walked for about 45 minutes and came to the edge of a huge field, which I wafted across in the cold winter night wind towards a very large old stone mansion which is now some sort of a museum. It all felt so terribly Gothic
And then back home. Too bad the skirt wasn't quite as warm as I'd hoped it would be with all it's layers.
Also missed a couple steps near the mansion, but still managed to land on my feet at the bottom of the stair. Maybe I really was flying:roll:
The good news, the really excellent news, perhaps the best news of all is that my knees were just fine with all of this including the acrobatics on the stairs. A couple of years ago I didn't think I'd ever be doing this sort of thing again. But next time I'll wait for a night with a full moon so I can see these sorts of things.
