The full moon has been spectacular lately. Next month, it will really put on a show. Did you know that the full moon in each month has a name? Actually, there's usually more than one name for each month's full moon.I grabbed an old Farmer's Almanac from my bookshelf to refresh my memory about these names.
January: Moon After Yule or Old Moon
February: Snow Moon, Hunger Moon, or Wolf Moon
March: Sap Moon, Crow Moon, or Lenten Moon
April: Grass Moon or Egg Moon
May: Planting Moon or Milk Moon
June: Rose Moon, Flower Moon, or Strawberry Moon
July:Thunder Moon or Hay Moon
August: Green Corn Moon or Grain Moon
September: Fruit Moon or Harvest Moon
October: Hunter's Moon
November: Frost Moon or Beaver Moon
December: Moon Before Yule or Long Night Moon
Takeaway Truth
I'm sure you recognize some of these full moon names as book titles.
