I realize that I already posted a picture of the moon recently but not this moon. This moon was seen overhead last week and is called The Full Beaver Moon or The Frosty Moon. Back in the old days, when you saw this moon in the sky in November you knew it was time to set the beaver traps before the swamps froze. And then you would have enough warm furs to last through winter. Heads up, The Full Cold Moon will make its appearance in 3 weeks on December 12th.
I also realize that I've spent way too many Poetry Fridays on Adelaide Crapsey. I can't help it! I love her short, little, serious, tragic poems.

What a great shot of the moon, I'm ready to set the traps.
What a beautiful shot and a great poem. Just lovely.
Beautiful shot of the moon. I guess I better dust off the ol' beaver traps.
I love looking at the moom!! It's so mesmerizing. I love the short poems like that. Sometimes less words are more, packs a bigger punch!
ha ha, moom... you know what I meant! LOL
Beautiful moon!
A beaver moon, lol--I learned something new today!
that is a great shop but I would probably freeze since I couldn't kill a beaver. :(
You have a great blog! I think this is the first time I've visited you. I love your picture of the moon and the poem. Very beautiful.
My Dad used to buy pelts and I always found it very interesting.

There are a LOT of comments I could make about beavers and fur, but I am holding myself back! I'm a little tipsy from two glasses of wine and have a HIGH likelihood of offending people! So I will keep my trap shut. Oh, it's hard!!!
You continue to keep me current!
Wow you took that picture! crazy, don't see that around here! P.S. We go to the sonoma race, for 3 years, and this year to vegas! I will have to e-mail you some pics 7 the story of the contest we won last year!
