I've read that tonight's full moon will be bigger than ever, but it'd have to be down by the horizon for that. I recently saw it like that, by the horizon and so huge I thought it was coming at us. It was gorgeous, all shiny white with a haze around it. Someone else saw it a bit later and said it was the orange of a harvest moon then.

Right! We were told that full moon babies thing was just a myth. For grins and giggles, our head nurse got a copy of the Farmers Almanac and clipped the lunar cycle each day and bookmarked the delivery room register. After about six months, she started inking in the phases of the moon. No doubt about it. Our most busy times were days and nights of the full moon.

I would like to add that we had more foals born with the full moon than at any other time of the month. We always looked at the F.A. as to when this was occurring so we could plan on staying in the barn that night.

My DH and I went to the beach last night. We watched the moon come up over the ocean horizon. At first it was a bit hazy on the horizon, thought I saw a weird cloud but after using my binoculars I realized it was the moon hidden in the haze. The moon was absolutely beautiful in an orange color before turning to the whiter color after a while. Well worth the car trip.

The folks in the vintage section were talking about a moonlight boat ride. I had thought about taking a moon light paddle in my area. Glad I didn't. Ended up with quite a storm. We now have a residue of pine pollen coating everything. At least it's not blowing around. It'll restart as soon as the sun comes out. Aha Georgia Pines. The Spring Equinox and Pine pollen. Spring is Here!
