Moon names

Last night was the night of the Full Flower Moon, according to my Farmer’s Almanac calendar. The next one is the Full Strawberry Moon; the one before it was the Full Pink Moon.

Some other moon names: Wind moon, cold moon, hunger moon, changeable moon, uncertain moon, frog moon, thunder moon, moon of long nights, red moon, rust moon, blood moon, green grain moon, hunter’s moon, ice moon, snow crust moon, wolf moon, noisy goose moon, worm moon, hibernation moon.

    Full Flower indeed - it was bright enough to cast shadows of the window frame on the walls.

    so did you see it? rising low over the horizon, fat and slightly yellow? it was breathtakingly gorgeous.

    I missed it. I’ll have to look for the almost-full moon tonight.
