Ruth Road Moon

The April full moon floated up over a wheat field on Ruth Road last night around 7:30. My Chevy Volt cast a long shadow along with a nearby utility pole when I stuck my camera out the car window and snapped this image. Tony Bennett was singing on my car stereo.

I wished on the moon

For something I never knew

Wished on the moon

For more than I ever knew

A sweeter rose, a softer sky

On April days that would not dance by**

 It was a good moment in early April and I wished on the moon last night.
