According to the Old Farmer's Almanac:

"July is normally the month when the new antlers of buck deer push out of their foreheads in coating of velvety fur. It was also often called the Full Thunder Moon, for the reason that thunderstorms are most frequent during this time. Another name for this month's Moon was the Full Hay Moon."

A gal I used to work with ages ago posted this photo she took herself on Facebook today. She said she took it yesterday evening while sitting outside her lake cabin.  


By the way, we hit 100 degrees today.
