Look up! A Supermoon!

This week the moon is on the rise.  It is a full harvest moon and a lunar eclipse.  It is magical and wonderful to take a moment and gaze up into the night sky as the moon  ascends.  I told a group of kindergarten students to be on the watch for it, and they came back the next day to tell me what they saw.

A Gathering of Birds: Poems for Autumn

This time of year is a time for celebration, a time to bring friends and family together, a time to reflect for all we are grateful for. And still I feel a sense of sadness. A loss for the green and growing. A loss for summer's promise and spring's renewal. I await the winter mornings with trepidation. But her icy fingers beckon. and I know I must follow. Everything has a season.
