Full Hunter's Moon
(Native Amer. northern & eastern parts of the United States)
The animals were fat from summer grazing, and with winter coming, it
was time to hunt. Also known as "Indian Summer," a warm
time that was appreciated before winter's blasts.
Squirrels and chipmunks crowd around.
Walnuts and acorns cover the ground.
They paw and they gnaw, having fun.
Gathering food in the autumn sun.
