507. By the Light of the Silvery Moon

It's 2:47 am and I know no one is up for me to call. I woke up for a mid-sleep walk to the restroom when I noticed how bright my hallway seemed to be lit by the light of a silvery moon.

I stepped outside where the skies are clear, the temperature is 69 degrees, and a lustrous Full Buck Moon - that's what the Farmer's Almanac calls a full moon in July - is shining down upon us, so much so that I could check the tomatoes and peppers and flowers and herbs growing in my front yard garden.

I should tell you about the four tomato plants I have which now encompass an area of about 7 feet square, but that should wait. After all, it is the middle of the night.

Jeff Noble
Louisville, Kentucky, United States
I am single. In 2010 I will be 50, a time for which I haven't fully planned. Close to officially converting from the Roman Catholic Church to the Episcopal Church, although my true belief is that of a Universalist and/or a Deist, with Unitarian tendencies, but not enough to belong to a Unitarian/Universalist church which I find a little too unstructured. Graduate of Prestonia Elementary, Durrett High, and Spalding University, the first two now-closed Jefferson County Public Schools, the latter a very small liberal arts college in downtown Louisville affiliated with the Roman Catholic Sisters of Charity of Nazareth.
