27 Mar 2013 - Full Worm Moon

Tonight was the Full Worm Moon. Because it was a beautiful warmish evening, Jack and I were able to sit outside and watch it rise over the mountain. 

Why Worm Moon?  Supposedly the full moon in March is when the ground starts to warm up and the worms appear, bringing robins back. 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. Back east where the maple sugar trees are, it is known as the Full Sap Moon. 

Want to watch the moon rise with me? 

  

Yep. Pure magic. Gets me every time.
