As well, you saw this morning on the hill
Her horse is in the stable now, the men are at the mill
She thanks you for the apples by her gate
And hopes that when the moon is full you’ll join her once again to celebrate
For she knows that the harvest has begun
The autumn feast rewards our time when
All is well and done
With the blessing of the sun

Thank you, Eliza! 🍂
It will be a good night for us to see that beautiful Harvest Moon. When I was young, my parents would listen to the singer Mitch Miller – they had albums by him and I think he had a TV program. He’d sing “Shine on, shine on harvest moon, up in the sky.” I can picture either one of my parents singing to that song as I just wrote that last line.
I got to see it, too! I remember you writing about your parents listening to Mitch Miller singing about the harvest moon. 🌕 My father died at night, under the full harvest moon in 2013, which I thought was pretty special since he grew up on a farm and loved his garden. It’s sweet to remember these connections every year.
The bright-orange moon was remarkable from the pictures I saw over the weekend. That is quite a memory to have of your father and his connection to the full harvest moon and his cherished garden.
