Which Full Moon...? 🌕 😊

Full Corn Moon on Sept. 1 - 2
🌕
"Frequently, the September full moon provides the Northern Hemisphere with its Harvest Moon, because the September full moon – more often than not – is the closest full moon to the autumn equinox. 
 🌕
But, in 2020, the first of two October 2020 full moons happens closer to this equinox, so this year’s Harvest Moon comes on October 1
 🌕
When the September full moon is not the Harvest Moon, we in North America commonly call it the Fruit Moon, Corn Moon or Barley Moon."

Hello! I am back! :) Did you miss me?
I'm glad I found you well and happy in early fall! I love the autumn scenes! What can I say ... "Autumn is a second Spring when every leaf is a flower!" Happy Autumn!

Gorgeous photos today and no I have never heard the term Rudenaja, I'll have to remember to use it :)

I have never heard of rudenaja but it applies to our weather this last week.

Oh MY! The photos you post! I enjoy them SO much, they really enrich me day! I love the pumpkins by lantern light, the wreath header, all your quotes and info. Visiting you is a refreshing break in my day.

I love all the images and quotes about Fall. I'm going to get out a few Fall candles tomorrow. I'm ready for a change!

No, I've not heard Rudenaja either. How I'd love having a big canvas of the Pumpkins by Lantern light!

Your full moon photo is gorgeous! Always enjoy the pictures you share, and the poem and quote. No, I did not know the word rudeneja or what it meant. I literally love learning these things, thank you :)

September is the start of a new year for me, and autumn is my favorite season. But how did it get here so quickly?

That poem from George Eliot??
I love it.
My mom recites it every year.
Have a cozy evening, my friend.

I love the way your moons have different names, and that poem by George Eliot is just perfect :)
