Penultimate moon rises
Waning crescent thinly lit
Winks one last time before
Waking opposite Uranus
That makes one distant, impulsive
Seeing Mercury sextile Venus
Scorpio on the border with
Virgo, Libra
Procession of equinoxes
Ofrenda
Cottonwoods / Moon / Sunrise / Sunset / Trees
Penultimate Moon
Off Center & Not Even

The skies over your area are beautiful, no matter what time of day. I like the Ofrenda, too.
Thanks, Lavinia.
I had to look up Penultimate.
Does that mean the new moon is ultimate?
Sweet shots, Tim. Thank you!
You could look at it that way. I don’t know a word for the last before the new. Technically it’s not really correct usage, but for lack of a better word I had no other “penultimatum”. Thanks, Resa.
xo
Can you tell me more about ofrenda?
It’s an offering to the spirits of people who died during the year. The two candles are for my mom and one of Laurie’s students. Thanks, Hemalatha.
Oh, we have such kind of traditions too.
Thanks for sharing 🙂
