Full Moon Alert

Full Covid19 Moon I know, I know this is a soggy, poor, unimaginative name for a beautiful full moon. but look at who came up with it. AND, WHAT CHOICE DO I HAVE? Tuesday, April 7, the Full Covid19 rises just after 715pm and just before sunset at 730pm should be a grand rising, just keep in mind no snuggling or sharing wine glasses, oh yes drinking is fine. Say a prayer of good health for your fellow lunar-madness wine-drinking buddies. I will, I love you all. A Mary Lee Hahn poem about this very moon: When I Stepped Outside for My Early Morning Walk I was met by the moon,  full and bright, hanging low. Good morning , Moon, I said. What do you know? And Moon said, Glow. Few will notice fewer will care. All the more reason to always be there and glow. Waxing is joyous waning is real. Whether a sliver or the whole wheel, you glow. Find some light get in  its way reflect that light with beam or ray and glow.  Saweet Mary Lee Hahn, tha...

Moonshine or clouds Mimi and i will raise a glass (if we can find one in our mid-renovation kitchen) of tart red to you our friends. 1-17-20 Official Arbor Day in La, third Friday in January, mark your calendars. Me n my rag tag band of beloved hippies and Geologist Dr Brian Schubert planted a Paw Paw patch in the lawn at Hamilton Hall. WoooooHoooo! Then I loaded my trusty pickup with camping gear and headed to Chicot to spend the night with BSA Troop 67, Amy's youngest and my youngest grandson Mathew's troop. They left Geismer at dark and my goal was to arrive before dark to find a place to set up and be ready. ...

This not-to-be-missed Full Paw Paw Moon will rise Friday, January 10, 2020 as the sun sets. About 530. The Gulf Rim is set for a frontal passage overnight Friday and clouds are moving in as we speak BUT we will celebrate and raise a glass of tart red 3/$20 to the unseen moon and you our friends anyway! 12-10-19 I sent the last FMA off you you guys today and within minutes Eddie B, who is always on the ball and a loyal reader, emailed back with a report of his own. At my mention of being frustrated with my people and their lack of respect for elderly trees and that I plan on planting a Paw Paw patch for Arbor Day on campus. Eddie wanted to know how big Mr Al was when we moved him (72" DBH), then Eddie moved on to tell me that he ate his first Paw Paw fruit, ever, this fall in Mississippi. Eddie's next news was not so happy, he told me that he lost is dad at Thanksgiving. Eddie declared his dad to be a great woodsman, outdoors man, conservationist, wing shot, and iron sights ...

  Yes, Full Okra! I my spare time I am reading The Whole Okra . The writer is a Smith guy I have never heard of, Chris. My favorite quote so far is "I ate so much Okra, I slid out of bed."

Hopefully the clouds will clear enough for a good viewing. P and I will raise a glass of tart red to you our friends.   I cannot live without books. -Thomas Jefferson One thing about being the self proclaimed tree guy is that there is no shortage of stupid to fight in tree preservation.
