Harvest Moon

Saturday, September 30, 2023

Squeezed in a Romeo y Julieta before dinner tonight. Dale joined me in the back yard. It was very pleasant out but it's really getting darker so much earlier now. 

Took a walk after dinner and caught a glimpse of the Harvest Moon which peaked yesterday morning. Can NOT believe tomorrow is the 1st of October. 

September Full Moon

The moon is full on tomorrow. I got a good look at it shining ever so brightly on Athena’s last walk of the day.

Friday, September 13, 2019

My, it's been awhile since I've written here. Tonight's the full moon and I've heard it's the first one on Friday the 13th in nearly 20 years (Oct. 13, 2000). Dale tells me there won't be another one for about 30 more (August 13, 2049). Cloudy all day today but the sky finally cleared this evening. The moon is visible and it's beautiful. 

Then there's this...

And, whoa, was it a doozy.

Here's a picture of the full moon sent to me by my friend Warren. He's staying at his parent's lake place. 

Full Moon - Monday, Sept. 8, 2014

The September full moon is called the Full Corn Moon or, sometimes, the Full Barley Moon as it corresponds to the corn or barley harvest. Today would have been Dad's 73 birthday.

Full moon this morning. Took the photo from which this image is derived last night.

September 29th Full Moon - Poem

Another treated version of a photo I took of the September Harvest Moon.

A harvest Moon!
And on the mats-
Shadows of pine boughs.
-Takarai Kikaku, Japanese poet (1661-1707)

September 29, 2012 - Full Moon

This a treated version of a photograph I took of the full moon over our street.

The following is from The Old Farmer's Almanac:

"This month we also celebrate what we call a Harvest Moon, which is the full Moon nearest the autumnal equinox. It can occur in September or October and is bright enough to allow finishing all the harvest chores. The Full Harvest Moon is different than all our other full Moons. Around this date, the Moon rises at almost the same time for a number of nights in our northern latitudes."
