T’was the Night Before the Flower Moon
May 22, 2024
Shot through the window along 113 on our way to dinner in Woodland this evening (7:45pm).
On the way home, the moon was rising and it was not quite full. Googled, and learned that tomorrow’s full moon will be a flower moon, “so dubbed for the blooms typically growing in glorious profusion in May,” said the Country Living website.
We also learned about these other 2024 full moons:
January 25: Wolf Moon, for the wolf’s hungry howling on mid-winter nights
February 24: Snow Moon, as snow is heaviest in Feb
March 25: Worm Moon, when worms come out in the Spring thaw
April 23: Pink Moon, for the hue of wild ground phlox
June 21: Strawberry Moon, because they’re ready to be picked by now
July 21: Buck Moon, male deer grow new antlers this month
August 19: Sturgeon Moon, because fishing is best this time of year
September 17: Harvest Moon, corn harvest time
October 17: Hunters Moon, when hunters store up meat
November 15: Beaver Moon, beavers are trapped for their popular warm fur
December 15: Cold Moon, because it’s the start of the coldest months
