Hello, blog friends ~
It's an unpredictable time of the year in the high desert. Threats of floods and monsoon rains, as well as the unusually high or low temperatures and strong winds, keep us wondering what the day will bring. A quick change in plans is a common occurrence during this time of year.
Many of us are salvaging the remains of our gardens, and that process brings me to this week's theme for Tanka Tuesday. Per Willow, participants are to create a poem that focuses on the Hunter's Moon or the aging of the year. I opted for the Hunter's Moon.
I took the photo below at 6:20 AM. My little cell phone doesn't do it justice, but I was in awe of the scene. Like many, I watched the moon rise the night before, but never expected to see it in the morning. By chance, was it visible in your part of the world?

Whether you sit, stand, walk, or run, I hope you can enjoy the outdoors today. As Thoreau wrote so beautifully, "Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads." Let's meet in its majesty.
Have a wonderful week, dear friends. 💚
