When my youngest was three, I had a baby who only lived 30 days. His name was Noah. Ever since then, a fingernail moon has been called Noni's Moon. HIs little sister said "Noah" but it came out "No-nee." When Noah was born and thirty days later he died, the moon looked like this- from that point on, my older daughter and I called it a Noni's Moon. He would be 22 years old in October of this year, and we still remember his moon.
I am Kat and have lived in the Heart of the Appalachian Mountains for 10+ yrs. I love the people, the accent, the mountains, the culture, the beauty & the abundant wildlife here. This photo blog is my view of life. Much of my day is spent at the level of doorknobs, as I am disabled & use a power wheelchair. As you can imagine, most photos are from this perspective, though some are taken from a vehicle. I hope you enjoy my photos. PLEASE comment to let me know you've been here!
Lovely story... My best friend is Naomi... but I often call her Noni, as does her family. (My brothers birthday is in October.) Noni to me sounds of sweetness, and friendship, and fun.
