The sky is clear this evening, there are no clouds, and we can see the moon. It's not a full moon, not yet, but it looks full. It is waxing. It will be full on the first day of May, but will we see it? The night could be cloudy. Our shaggy dog is looking at something. Is he looking at the moon? Or, perhaps, can he hear a badger in the wood? He likes sitting in the dark.
