SEPTEMBER 26 · HARVEST MOON

One cup. A little moonlight.

Coffee before the Harvest Moon

An imagined Pacific Northwest moonlit window with evergreen trees, quartz, a pale cup and an open journal — A moonlit scene, imagined for the season.

Friday gets the caramel. Saturday gets a little ceremony. There is room for both.

Make the cup you actually want: coffee, tea, or something warm without caffeine. While it settles, name one good thing you are taking out of this week. Take the first sip before deciding what comes next.

A small intention

I can enjoy what is here. I can leave a little room for what is next.

My Friday cup has Nespresso coffee, Ghirardelli caramel, La Lechera condensed milk and Amazon Grocery heavy cream. The full pour, sips and little finger gestures are in the two kitchen films.

The Harvest Moon reaches its full phase on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at 9:49 a.m. Pacific in Portland. An evening pause can belong to you even if clouds cover the view. Moon timing.
