Three Day Moon

 Last night there was a break in the clouds and you could see the three-day-old moon.  This is the last new moon of summer; I think full moon is on or very near the equinox

Sometimes I wish we lived on the other side of College Slope so we could see the setting moon and sun.  During the summer, however, I'm thankful that we live on the eastern slope because the hill shades us from the late afternoon heat. 




Last lunar month, the crescent was an orange slice from all of the fires--but the fires have been doused by this week's rain.
