Out of the Ordinary

Blowing bubbles …..

… under a full moon is only possible at night, of course, and on a limited number of nights.  On a crisp January night the bubbles float solidly and stolidly upward and then break ranks as if inward driven, not wind blown.  When they pop it is with a definite loudness that seems not just because day sounds are absent;  there is a politic  interval between pops. They capture the moon's  light on both their outer and inner surface.

One only stops blowing bubbles under a full moon in January because one's hands become uncomfortably cold and somehow putting on gloves is not even considered.
