ONCE IN A BLUE MOON...

Happens tomorrow night!

It also happens to be a lunar eclipse and a full moon to boot!

It's also reported that it is a totally stressful time for those who are affected by the moon...

Facts I thought you were dying to know:

The blue moon is supposed to happen every 2.72 years...the last one being in May 2007. The next one to occur will be in Aug. 2012.

The blue color is supposed to be caused from the pollution in the atmosphere.

According to the Farmer’s Almanac, there are typically twelve named full moons every year. The exception to this is, of course, the somewhat rarer Blue Moon.

Those twelve named full moons are:
  • January – Wolf Moon
  • February – Snow Moon
  • March – Worm Moon
  • April – Pink Moon
  • May – Flower Moon
  • June – Strawberry Moon
  • July – Buck or Sturgeon Moon
  • August – Fruit or Barley Moon
  • September – Harvest Moon
  • October – Hunters Moon
  • November – Beaver Moon
  • December – Cold or Long Nights Moon
These Full Moon names originated with the Native Americans, of what is now the northern and eastern United States. The full moons allowed the tribes to keep track of the seasons by giving names to each recurring full Moon. Basically, the entire "month" would be named after the full moon occurring that month.


I thought that was very interesting...especially the Cold & Long Nights were are suffering with lately! Doesn't make one want to go out and party...


There isn't any ritual that one is supposed to follow in a "blue moon" situation but some suggest one change their depression from the last year and think positively...maybe with meditation [or was it medication]?


I'd rather party...


After all it's only once in a blue moon!


BillyRoo escaped to find a party in the city...


PoD & Trebor are nursing sick children suffering from colds...


Thumber's running around the house crazy like...

Maybe I'll join her!


Now to find something blue to wear...


WISHING YOU ALL...

A HAPPY NEW YEAR


...Make It A Safe One!

We have had some beautiful moons here just the past few days.

The one tonight over the hills was spectacular.

Happy New Year - I may have wished you this before, - but good wishes are always the best when duplicated!
