The moon is a friend for the lonesome to talk to. - Carl Sandburg

Songs and poems are written about it; it's worshipped by Pagans and Wiccans worldwide; it's mentioned over 60 times in the Bible; it makes horror movies more horror-able. Tonight is it's "special night."

The Harvest Moon usually comes out in September. Only one out of every 3 years does it come in October, the "witching month." This is one of those years. It will appear bigger and brighter than any other time of the year

Lock your doors and windows, stay inside & turn the scanner up so you can hear it over the TV ...

It is the Harvest Moon! On gilded vanes
And roofs of villages, on woodland crests
And their aerial neighborhoods of nests
Deserted, on the curtained window-panes
Of rooms where children sleep, on country lanes
And harvest-like fields, its mystic splendor rests.
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Harvest Moon

with the moon so big and bright
the wolves will probably howl tonight
and if they find a female near
will say,
hon lets go get a beer.

I think Valentine's Day is the devil's holiday. Who else would make up such a day to impress upon the single people the fact that they are ALONE!

If the past two days is an example of what the Asian beetles is going to be this year it will be a disaster. Never seen them so thick with the leaves still on the trees. Sprayed almost two gallons of bug killer around the house already and still they fly to the sides that the sun shining on. Hopefully a blight will hit and kill them all. Who was the idiot that dumped them on us? Gus Douglas thats who, along with multifloral roses and Autumn Olives. Thanks Gus your a weiner thats for certain.

Who is Gus Douglas? I am all for hunting him down, he probally is the one that came up with the spray to get rid of them. Why did he turn the pesty things loose?

ROSE said...

WOOOHOOOO!!! 96.1 (The Wolf) was giving away tickets to the Seger concert yesterday. Consequently, my dialing finger is now in a splint & my redial button is trashed (but I still don't have free tickets). LOL That's a stinkin' TUESDAY!!

Gus Douglas? Isn't he Sen. Bird's older brother?

Well they put on us the worms that eat off fruit tree leaves, counter action, the little lady bugslookin critters. The worms are not near as bad, but still here. The lady bug looking critters, Rose dont permit words on here for them.

Gus Douglas is the fine grey haired gentleman running the Wv Dept of Agriculture. He should be running for the border after bringing in all this garbage that farmers and citizens are having to deal with now. Does (short rope Tall tree) ring a bell, or maybe even tar and feathers.

I hope Gus Douglas is running for the border by now, If I could find him I would make him a bowl of bug soup, and make sure that he eat's ALL of it.

Anonymous said...

I'm stumped, but you sure do sing purdy!

ROSE said...

Pffffffffft, SB, everybody knows that's The Highwayman. teeheehee

I doubt seriously Gus Douglas is wallowing in remorse over the ladybug thing.

One of the highlights of our Wednesday evening was a rousing game of charades while the power was out for hours & hours. My kids do great impersonations of ladybugs being sucked into the vacuum cleaner ... LOL

I don't have a clue if either of these are right, SB, but that's all I could find. LOL They're "Google guesstimates". ;)

You do sing awfully nice, though. :P
