I have always been drawn to The Moon, and the rising of The Harvest Moon is an event that I don't miss. I urge you to observe this special event. The Harvest Moon often times appears red or orange, and seems very large due to it's position in the sky. This is a show that you won't want to miss. Around sunset head outside, face East, and make yourself comfortable. Blankets and wine are rather nice accompaniments. Look to the horizon and behold the great Harvest Moon.
Child Moon
The child's wonder At the old moon Comes back nightly. She points her finger To the far silent yellow thing Shining through the branches Filtering on the leaves a golden sand, Crying with her little tongue, "See the moon!" And in her bed fading to sleep With babblings of the moon on her little mouth.
-Carl Sandburg
Hi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteThe blanket and wine sound like like a good way to spend a nice fall evening. Why did you not post new pictures? Maybe you can take one of the harvest moon and share with us?

Hi Patricia, I will try to get a good picture of the Harvest Moon, and share it with you all. Thanks for the suggestion.
ReplyDeletePatricia, I was not able to get a picture of the Harvest Moon. This was due to the fact that I couldn't even see the moon. We had very thick cloud cover and rain. This was very disappointing. Maybe next year.
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI went walking with my daughter last week and the trial went right along Mills Creek,we had a wonderful time. I think everyone should try to get out and enjoy the color and get some fresh air,before winter sets in.
