About The Moon in Autumn
Written by an exhausted chronic pain suffering writer who thinks too hard about things like art, anime, images, nature, books, manga, scars, quotes, music, work, authors, financial desperation, joy, beauty, humor, and whatever else catches her scattered attention.
Her blog’s name comes from the title poem of her ridiculously long thesis “I am like the moon in autumn,/ losing sleep as summer fades,” which came to her whole while she was driving home toward the moon one November early evening. (The title, not the 450 page thesis. Alas.)

I have been hearing them, too, and they have been pretty loud this summer. They usually are when it is very hot and humid, which it has been. Greetings from Montreal, Canada. :)
ReplyDeleteThey always sort of sneak up on me. Greetings to you in the far north! : )
