Sunday will be the beginning of bnaakwii giizis, or “falling leaves moon”. This month from the Ojibwe lunar calender marks the shift from last month’s waabagaa giizis (changing leaves moon). I was impressed last month, the first day of changing leaves moon brought the first colorful leaves I had seen this year. Soon all of the leaves will fall, and we will once again be able to see in the woods. While I love fall, and the changing leaves, I am excited for the winter to come!

The leaves have changed, and are ready to start falling.
