Finding the Moon.....

It is hard to see from my house.  We were returning home in the evening and first saw it to our left up in the sky while being on a straight east/west road.  By the time we drove up the curved street to our house. I couldn’t find it in the sky. Then I realized it was straight out from our driveway and was just peaking up over the neighbor’s house.  As time went by it was so low in the sky that it went behind the neighbor’s house. I can now understand why I don’t see it as it goes up and over behind my horizon view of houses.
