This, we said, was our life...

This, we said, was our life...
We were alone one night on a long road in Montana. This was in winter, a big night, far to the stars. We had hitched, my wife and I, and left our ride at a crossing to go on. Tired and cold--but brave--we trudged along. This, we said, was our life, watched over, allowed to go where we wanted. We said we'd come back some time when we got rich. We'd leave the others and find a night like this, whatever we had to give, and no matter how far, to be so happy again. - William Stafford "Once in the 40's"

Autumn Almanac

I'm not sure how this always happens, but all of a sudden the days are short again. and I'm loving the smell and taste of the crispness of it all!


According to the Farmers' Almanac:
October 3rd is the best day to:
cut firewood
cut hair to increase growth
mow to increase growth
castrate farm animals
dig holes
potty train
wax floors
get married
start diet to gain weight

Moonrise: 6:14pm
Sunset: 6:49pm
Full Moon: 11:10pm (HARVEST MOON!)

Time to go bike to a nice place for a Harvest Moonrise!
