I?d imagine because it?s around peak strawberry season.

Sunrise is still a bit early at 6:15 am in my area. Sunset is just right at 7:50 pm. I notice it starting to get dark at about 7 and it's time to come in from the garden. Tonight is a special treat after dinner...the full moon!

I've been hearing it called something like a Super Blue Moon, but I don't get it. It's not a blue moon. ???

Apparently it's a blue seasonal moon, which is when there's four moons in a three-month season. Even then, it's confusing. I guess they're figuring summer began June 21, which was a full moon, and continues through Sept. 22, with a full moon on Sept. 17.
It was pretty super, though. And next month will be super, too, I guess. And of course another seasonal blue moon. Blue moons just aren't that interesting if they're not in the same calendar month, and hardly even then.
One of my neighbors last night argued that the moon didn't look at all blue. Well, no.

Of course when all was said and done, I couldn't see it anyway. After several clear nights, when I had a nice view of the waxing moon (you could see it getting larger from night to night), last night it was cloudy. >:( Maybe I'll be able to see it from the house tonight.
