On the last day of October, we have a full moon, something that doesn't occur on Halloween often. There won't be another full moon on this day for another 19 years. The moon is a blue moon since it is the second full moon in the calendar month. It is often referred to as a Hunter Moon, the full moon following the Harvest Moon. This full moon also is the at the furthest point from earth of full moon this year. Hence, it can be called a micro moon. Meteorologist and others have pondered what to call this moon -- how to name something that has several titles. Several have settled on a string of names in this order -- Boo! Blue Micro Hunter Moon. So, if you are lucky enough to see this tonight, ponder it for a few minutes. It is a rarity. <smile>
A song that came to mind today was written in 1934 by Rogers and Hart and has been covered by many singers over the 86 years. Interesting. I chose to share an upbeat cover by a doo wop group from 1961. Stay safe. Enjoy!
