brood

since levi has been able to recognize the moon (months ago), we have been watching for it during our walk. each night this week and some of last as the moon was reaching for its current full state, we’d look for it in the sky. tonight, i think he could tell that this particular full moon bore special features. for tonight it sits rather low in the sky; above the horizon enough to be large, but not colossal. it is glows amber as it were illuminated by candle-light. it asks us to be outside tonight, to witness it, and as if you have a farm to work, it is there for you to labor under its sheen.

ahh, but we are city folk. so, during our walk, when we were at a particularly good viewing spot, free from telepone poles, and power lines, and looking over a cut in the trees, i advertantly woke levi up so he could see it, and he let out a chuckle as he often does when excited. he then said ‘mooooo’ a few times.

next stop, harvest moon, which is in october this year.
