What a wonderful moon last night looming over Lake Michigan! I had heard it was called a, “Worm Moon” so I had to find out what that was all about.
Enter the illustrious “The Old Farmer’s Almanac” (does anyone remember this wonderful publication; if so, did you know it still exists?)
Apparently the full moon at this time of year signals the beginning of earthworms coming to the surface of the soil. This means that robins cannot be far behind; lo and behold, spring has arrived!
I’d like to think this also means we are getting closer to end the pandemic, and better days are coming!
I hope you have a lovely day after the ‘Worm Moon’s arrival.’
I hope this year will see the pandemic come to a close. I remember the Almanac, my grandparents always had a copy laying around. Is that white dot in the photo an alien spacecraft?
Me too, John; thank you! It’s a plane! 😉 LOL Cher xoxoxo
Ahh, OK, O’Hare and Midway I think are nearby. ❤️
Yes, O’Hare is and you’ve flown over the lake on your way there I seem to recall! Cher xoxoxo
Wowza!
I agree, Sarah! Thank you so much!! Cher xoxoxo
Lovely moon photo, Cher! The term “worm moon” is a new one to me:)
Thank you, Becky! It was for me too! LOL Cher xoxoxo
It kept me awake last night – it was sooooo bright!
Did it, JT? It sure was bright!! Cher xoxoxo
Worm Moon ha! who would’ve thunk. You can do a demo for each entry and then send it off to radio, voice overs and broaden your horizon to a co anchor or weather girl. You have to start somewher so why not start on this worm moon day. <3
LOL Oh my goodness, Joseph!! Thank you! Cher xoxoxo
Beautiful! Yes, the Old Farmers Almanac. Bruce’s dad used to get one every year in his stocking at Christmas. It’s a treasure trove of information.
Did he, Michelle? They really are, aren’t they? So much interesting stuff in there! I’m so glad they are still in business! Thanks! Cher xoxoxo
Great photo and share! We subscribed to The Farmer’s Almanac for years–wisdom of the ages for back-to-the-landers like us in the 70s and 80s. HAPPY SPRING, CHER! Things are definitely looking up! <3 xo
Thank you, dear Bette! Did you? Well that is really awesome to hear! Ah, thank you and HAPPY SPRING, BETTE! They are, and that’s a really good thing! Yeay! Cher xoxoxo
