Tonight we spent another night in the garden, tending to weeds and harvests of greens. Just as we were getting ready to leave, we noticed the full moon rising over a line of pine trees. This month's moon is known by many as the half-summer moon, which seems like a warning to us that the cold is approaching soon. But we won't worry, since the summer solstice was a mere 11 days ago, and school-goers still have a solid 2 months of summer vacation! As the next 2 weeks pass, we'll watch this moon wane, with darkness slowly gaining from right to left. After a night of a new moon, we then get to see next month's wild ricing moon wax for 2 weeks, with light gaining from right to left until that moon is full. By then, we'll still be tending to weeds and harvests!
