The full worm moon
This is the moon where the soil warms up and the worms come to the surface and really they are already there because we have had nothing but muck for about a year here so my worms are thriving ..in fact they are so close to the surface they give my 4 year old grandson such amazing joy I can not tell you ...worms and 4 year olds ..wow the best combo ever! and the chickens omg they have been feasting!

I have tons of robins that live here but the migrants are coming through slowly and joining in the feast ..how do I know the difference ..my husband is a birdnerd so he tells me what are migrants and I believe him blindly because I sure as heck have no clue!

I have to check and see in the woodland garden if the trilliums are coming up yet ...I saw the Indian plums blooming so the bushtits will be here soon ..there is nothing cuter than spring bushtits attacking an indian plum!!!

the sky has given us a break at night so I have watched this beautiful moon!!! I live in a spot where I am on the water and on top of a hill so I can see the moon when I have insomnia go over my house and drop into the water

I am so happy to see the largest full moon in 20 years!!! I am so fascinated by moons, stars, tides ..I so want to take an astronomy class and learn more ...

for the time being I guess this moon will shift our tides here just 6 inches ..but in the little nook on the Salish Sea that I live in six inches is kind of cool!

anyone else love looking at the sky at night ..sometimes I just stand out there close my eyes and take a moon bath...considering we have had so little sun this year ...the moon feels good to me even if it is not the same thing!

do you enjoy watching the moon phases?

how about a little video

i was up with our new pup around 3 Sunday morning, and we took a walk. the moon was heading over the hill behind the barn, and i don't think i've ever seen it so big!

i'd sure like to see some worms around here...gardens are still covered in snow!

peace, bunkie.

The moon woke me up at 3am blasting through the window and how could I resist going out for an hour and just embrace it!!!
sooo ...but assed cold as it is
I went outside and stood there under that moon ...I am wide away ..and absolutely blown away ..I know I could try to take a photo but my camera would not do it justice ...

there are coyotes howling behind the house..the air is so clean and fresh from all this rain ..but the pollen shedding that is for sure ...a train in the distance and it just gives you this most amazing feeling of being able to literally toss your troubles to the wind ..it is spring ...colder than shit ..but really it is spring!

the stars I wish I knew them all!!!

it is funny here we can have the most gloomy days on the planet I think but at night or early early in the AM the sky is so clear ..I do not get it!!!

My shovel is going to dig in deep today I hope the rain holds back just a bit to get the rhubarb split and some other stuff done

I think the moon is completely full however tonight!

Yes, I am complaining but it was a beautiful big moon!!! Happy spring equinox everyone.

Love the name for this moon!

Moonlight flooding through the bedroom window woke me around 6 a.m. Wanted to get a pic so braved the slippery frost on the deck, teetering on a deck chair for the best view, and just as I poised my camera to capture Supermoon, she slid from view into black clouds...shy creature.

I want to beg the moon to stay..

I guess I am a lunAtic!
