"What matters most," she said, "is th' moon. Ya only git two days an' two nights, with maybe a little bit more. But it's th'xtra light time given to you to get yore Fall Harvest in.
What matters most is th' moon. Don't cut no fence posts when th' moon's on its way to full, 'cause then th' sap's risin' an' them posts, they'll be full of moisture. When they dry out, they'll crack an' shrink, losin' water like that.
An' don't cut no wood then either, the wood to build yore house, 'cause same thing. Th' wood's full of wet when the moon's on the rise to full, an' when it dries out, the wood'll splinter an' th' house will fall.
But it's all right for the cook stove, long as it's dried out. Splinterin' wood don't matter none for the cook stove. Splinterin' wood just matters when it's carryin' weight.
So watch the moon.
The moon's what matters most."
