Broken Record

I realize that I already posted a picture of the moon recently but not this moon. This moon was seen overhead last week and is called The Full Beaver Moon or The Frosty Moon. Back in the old days, when you saw this moon in the sky in November you knew it was time to set the beaver traps before the swamps froze. And then you would have enough warm furs to last through winter. Heads up, The Full Cold Moon will make its appearance in 3 weeks on December 12th.

I also realize that I've spent way too many Poetry Fridays on Adelaide Crapsey. I can't help it! I love her short, little, serious, tragic poems.

  13. There are a LOT of comments I could make about beavers and fur, but I am holding myself back! I'm a little tipsy from two glasses of wine and have a HIGH likelihood of offending people! So I will keep my trap shut. Oh, it's hard!!!
