Super Moons and Saturdays


Did anyone get a chance to see a awesome super moon rise tonight? Huge and orange and rising behind the evergreen hedgerow. Spectacular.



Full Worm Moon – March 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.


On another note, after breaking our pickup truck at the beginning of plowing season James and John finally got her back on the road. Greenhouses are getting back in the swing of things and that means runs to the gas station for kerosene.
