Sheer lunacy

It's a full moon tonight.......

and I knew it even without looking out the window.

 There is a lot of rather peculiar behaviors going on out there.

Watch out for those drivers!

Good Friday Full Moon

I see the moon
The moon sees me
The moon sees somebody
I'd like to see
God bless the moon
And God bless me
And God bless somebody I'd like to see

Happy Easter!

Full Strawberry Moon

This name was universal to every Algonquin tribe. However, in Europe they called it the Rose Moon. Also because the relatively short season for harvesting strawberries comes each year during the month of June . . . so the full Moon that occurs during that month was christened for the strawberry!
Also......
An unusually long total lunar eclipse occured last night as the moon turned full (June 15) for skywatchers across parts of South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia.
At its peak, the total eclipse of the moon lasted 100 minutes, making it the longest lunar eclipse in 11 years. The eclipse was not visible from North America, but observers across a wide swath of the Eastern Hemisphere had a chance to see the lunar event.

Full Worm Moon
As the temperature begins to warm and the ground begins to thaw, earthworm casts appear, heralding the return of the robins. The more northern tribes knew this Moon as the Full Crow Moon, when the cawing of crows signaled the end of winter; or the Full Crust Moon, because the snow cover becomes crusted from thawing by day and freezing at night. The Full Sap Moon, marking the time of tapping maple trees, is another variation. To the settlers, it was also known as the Lenten Moon, and was considered to be the last full Moon of winter.

Full Wolf Moon – January

Amid the cold and deep snows of midwinter,

the wolf packs howled hungrily outside Indian villages.

Thus, the name for January’s full Moon.

Sometimes it was also referred to as the Old Moon,

or the Moon After Yule. Some called it the Full Snow Moon,

but most tribes applied that name to the next Moon.
