Friends, Flowers & the Full Moon

 🎜These are a few of my favorite things...🎝

My day began at the French Valley Airport Café for brunch and catching up with my friend, Lori.
The afternoon was spent with our older son's in-laws for great conversation and flowers.
Their nursery is bursting with orchids in bloom. What a feast for one's eyes.







Our evening concluded on David and Karen's hilltop slice of heaven with dinner, a campfire (gas powered, ember-free) and the full moon rising!

This was our chance to catch the rare full blue moon before it again becomes "just a memory" until 2024.

This moon has had many different names. The Maine Farmers' Almanac first published Native Americans' terms for the full moons in the 1930s, according to NASA -- including the Algonquin tribes' "Sturgeon Moon," named after large fish that were more easily caught in the Great Lakes and other bodies of water during this time, and the "Green Corn Moon."
The name of the August full moon differs across cultures, however. The Anishnaabe people refer to it as the "berry moon," while the Cherokee people call it the "drying up moon." For the Comanche people, August's full moon is the "summer moon." The Creek people know it as the "big harvest" moon. And the Hopi people call it the "moon of joyful."
I have to concur with the Hopi people. Tonight's moon was joyful. It was a spectacular ending to a very joyful day!
