Hi y’all!

Did you know …… that tonight, July 19, 2016 our full moon has  actually three different names  ……

The Full Buck Moon

Because July is normally the month when the new antlers of buck deer push out of their foreheads. If you are lucky enough to see it, it appears as a coating of velvety fur.

 Full Thunder Moon

Because of the many thunderstorms that are frequent during this time.

Full Hay Moon

Because it’s around this time that many farmers will harvest, bale and stow hay for the winter.

So if some of you are saying just about now …… big deal we see a full moon every month …… well sort off, it’s actually occurs every 29.5 days ….. its just another full moon right.

Did you know …… in fact, the same side of the moon always faces the planet, but part of it is in shadow. And, in reality most of the time the “full moon” is never perfectly full. Only when the moon, Earth and the sun are perfectly aligned is the moon 100 percent full, and that alignment produces a lunar eclipse.

 Tonight’s full moon will be at its peak at 6:57 p.m. EDT.

Some people claim to sleep better on full moon nights while others say they have difficulty sleeping.  Ever since I was a little girl, I remember my mom always wanting to step outside under the full moon and say a little prayer!

So whether you have a full moon ritual or maybe want to start one with friends, family (even the furry feet ones) Riley and I send you blessings and kindness tonight!
