We are cloudy and cold again.
I so wanted to get a photo of April’s full moon, but alas…it isn’t to be.
SO I have some old moon photos I will re-share with you.
April is the Full Pink Moon and it comes from the herb wild phlox with is pink and starts to bloom in April. Other names for the beautiful celestial orb is Full Sprouting Grass Moon, The Egg Moon and the FIsh Moon (shad spawn at this time, I’m told)
Love the silver light of a full moon!
Wherever you are I hope you can go outside and enjoy April’s full moon,
Your friend,
Linda




Apart from ‘harvest moon’ I don’t think we use any of the other names you list. But last night
with our nearly full moon the sky was beautiful.

Full moon nights are Husband is Safer On the Road nights. Out on the country roads where there are no street lights and plenty of suicidal kangaroos, the full moon helps him see the hazards coming!

They vary from the size of a large dog to something the size of a pony on its hind legs. And they’re not very smart… He drives a very big rig, with huge bull bars on the front, but it does cause damage, and the, um, residue has to be cleaned off when he returns from making his delivery and before he can come home…

We enjoyed it for three nights sitting on the front porch and during my 2:00 a.m. potty break. Eddie got up at 6:00 this morning as it was sitting behind our cemetery and it was fully red. He’d not ever seen it so red. I missed it!!

I had no idea of monthly “MOON” names.
I don’t think, I could be wrong, that we have monthly moon
names here in Australia.
As for “suicidal” kangaroos, they for reasons known only to the
Kangaroo family love to eat the grass ( greener) along the roadside
during the night, dusk and dawn and get blinded by the headlights.
They can make an awful mess of a car if they are big.
