Today was the official full moon, aka The Cold Moon. We have had a bright sky for the past two days and tonight it came to a head. Margot and I had planned a moon hike, but then had to cancel when she remembered a 4:30 conference call. Moon rise was at 4:58pm.
I took Gretchen out to walk the road east in the evening. And yes, the moon was bright. I didn't even use my phone's flashlight. She is still limping so I only went out for a mile.
A dead coyote lay on the road, just a lot over from mine. It was a young one, perhaps one of two I've seen prancing around at night. Whoever hit it left it on the side of the road. Speed limit here is 25mph and I've seen cars drive 30+. I think the driver purposefully hit the animal. I moved the coyote off the road and a good 10 feet in the embankment. An outline of the animal remained on the road.
Gretchen did not seem interested in the dead coyote/
