Crazy moon and the refrigerator door

Approaching the month of the "bony moon"- here is a list of moons for your poetic vision,  moons named to represent  Earth's natural world. An environmental moon. With climate change so abrupt (not really, we knew about it in the sixties, before , even), changes slap us silly.  Ocean boils, Glaciers puddle ,Wind becomes a swirling angry dragon with sharp pointy bits. No mercy.

Moons are no longer able to reflect the natural world . Name the  new moons, Uh -Oh moon , torch moon, starvation moon, WTF moon, Covid moon, Q  creepy moon, Deep end moon, terrified moon....I am sure that you have a few names  up your sleeve. 



Of course there is  "dark water moon" in this area nearly always.


Unpredictable temperatures, unpredictable flora , why are primroses and Snow berries in the same sentence?  Why is the cherry budding four months earlier than it ought. 

Confused Moon .



On the deck I can get pretty good shots of the moon with my point and shoot.  Cloud cover cooperated for the rise of the moon, then moon went for an underwater swim in the   heavy sky. 



 

Makes me hungry, actually everything makes me hungry, a hunger that nothing seems to satisfy. I visit the refrigerator with its surfeit of magnets and notes on the door-the best part of the fridge is its door,  for there is nothing inside that is of interest. Habit.  Peruse the shelves and bins for something that might take the edge off. Nope.  nothing there except cheese and pickles. ( I did find some very old licorice in one of my pockets from the last time Stella gave me Licorice brought from her trip to Finland- that was  a most welcomed fix of sweet, not too sweet, satisfaction)
Anyway, back to the door-

A temporary file of things, an installation of transient happenings- a moon, of sorts, declaring events in time/ our limited little lives- the door used to be covered in child art, reminders for school events, child stickers , Tigger and Pooh. That was a wonderful moon!  *POOF* and it's gone. 


A wedding invitation for nephew and groom, two grooms for the price of one! Wedding in September, doubt that I will be attending, it's in Kansas, for godsake! and also there is covid to consider. Will send $$$ as that is what they are needing for their honey moon to Laos, homeland of the man he is marrying. 


The all important Amsler grid to check vision every day and freak out over perceived  deterioration. Front and center! The Amsler Grid is a square-shaped grid used to detect or monitor metamorphopsia or scotoma involving the central visual field in various disorders of the macula and optic nerve head. However, when I go to the retina specialist (for a bunch of dollars and weird x-rays), he reports that all is as well as can be expected, slow go, Continue to take vitamins, eat greens, wear sunglasses and blue light blockers while using computers. Nothing can be done about the progression really, just stave it off. 

Keeping this quote  (below) in mind , as well as the overall picture. "WEB" taking on additional meaning these days. It's the wild west out there, where Q is welcome to join all of us at the benzinery with its mind exploding conspiracy stories. Deteriorating common sense of all who listen, infecting with apophenia leaving the entire watering hole full of  Jones grape kool-aid. "crazy Moon".

    1. Not so sure- Carbon footprint is large!! And climate migration is going to crowd everyone into a tiny live-able spot on the planet. Then it will be like an overpopulated rat colony where they eat each other, but there you go, I am just being an incurable optimist...

  3. Refrigerator doors would make a great coffee table book wouldn't it? Some people actually have naked ones! What is wrong with those people??

  4. I have to mention Canned Heat’s “Poor Moon,” released a day before the Apollo 11 launch.

    1. Oh wow, thank you for that! I had not ever heard that song and it is FAB! The moon is still there, Alan Wilson, but you are sadly gone.

  6. my only camera currently, the one in my phone, will not take pictures of the moon, just a blurry circle of light. and I have two of those little magnet stick figures. one hand gives the peace sign, the other the Vulcan salute. if only we had listened to Chief Seattle.
