toenail moon

But there's a full moon rising
Let's go dancing in the light
We know where the music's playing
Let's go out and feel the night

-Neil Young

I saw the moon tonight.  Just a sliver.  I just can't wait for those warm summer nights when the moon is shining bright and lingering in the air is the sweet smell of a sun-scorched days.  When my sister was little she found a stray clipping of my dad's toenail, like the moon before it's full, and proceeded to put it in a jewelry box and give it back to him as a gift.  Oh, my.  Kind of sweet and kind of...eww.  But it certainly was a thoughtful present and very funny too.  Kids :)
