Summer New Moon (Grandchild’s Moon)
From this point forward (if I remember) I’m going to start naming the moons in ways that make sense to our life here at Artemis Hives and the Seven Oaks. The Grandchild’s Moon is in honor of a yearly visit that takes place most often in this moon’s ambit since Jon and Jen return to work as teachers in early August.
The mighty possum warriors finally gave up and came inside to the cool, flopped down on the couch and promptly went to sleep. A hard day hunting the wily critter had done them in. I’m 99% sure that the possum only has shattered nerves. All that barking. Right out on the patio.
Jen called today and they leave Chicago tomorrow and plan to be here Sunday night. They are going to come up on the Minnesota side of the Mississippi, stopping in Winona at the National Eagle Center.
