Full Moon Rising over the Baaken

Yesterday was a most unusual day in Orbital Mechanics.

1st: There was a Full Moon rising. (not so unusual)

2nd: It was Friday the 13th. (getting a bit more unusual)

3rd: Mercury is in Retrograde (that means it appears to move backwards in the sky).

Combine the three and now you've got unusual.

Fortunately, I had a decent camera on me where I work in the North Dakota Baaken oil fields.

 

It is such a beautiful country up here. No wonder the Native Americans  worshiped this land and considered it holy.

Magician of Oz joins the 7th Annual Mad Tea Party!

Over the years, I have enjoyed participating in a number a blog events, celebrations and the like, all of which are usually related writing and such. Being a writer of children's books based on The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900) by L. Frank Baum, I always enjoy these events.

In the past, I have especially enjoyed being a part of the Celebrate Oz blog happenings that are hosted by Oma Linda and her blogsite, Olde Bagg 'n Stuft Shirts.

Now comes a wonderful blog celebration entitled: 7th Annual Mad Tea Party; hosted by the blogsite; A Fanciful Twist.

Last year, I had the pleasure of writing a short story about the Mad Hatter for the Altered Oz blog celebration.

I'll be curious to see how the Mad Hatter celebrates his own very unique awesomeness during the 7th Annual Mad Tea Party?
