Jordan and I read Theme in Yellow by Carl Sandburg for a Language Arts lesson on Monday. He really liked it a lot. It turns out that Autumn is his favorite season, as it is mine.
Later on that night, we went to my parents' house for one last swim before the pool is closed up for the season. The water was really too chilly to swim, so the kids didn't stay in for very long. For once, fall seems to be coming early in Georgia. We looked up at the sky and saw a Harvest Moon. Just like the one we read about earlier.
I called Jordan and told him to look up at the Harvest Moon. He was amazed. He watched it for quite some time.
Here is Jordan and his Harvest Moon. Cousin Micah is also checking it out. The moon was beautiful that night... this picture really doesn't do it any justice. I love it when God gives me such nice visual aids!

THEME IN YELLOW
I SPOT the hills
With yellow balls in autumn.
I light the prairie cornfields
Orange and tawny gold clusters
And I am called pumpkins.
On the last of October
When dusk is fallen
Children join hands
And circle round me
Singing ghost songs
And love to the harvest moon;
I am a jack-o'-lantern
With terrible teeth
And the children know
I am fooling.Carl Sandburg
