Be on the lookout tonight for a Blue Moon.
Traditionally a Blue Moon is when four full moons occur in a season, or so says The Farmer's Almanac. The term Blue Moon is also used to define two full moons occurring in one month, as we have tonight.
More than likely you have used the term, "Once in a Blue Moon", a time or two in your life. The following examples come to mind for me.....
My son picks up his room once in a blue moon.
My husband uses the vacuum once in a blue moon.
What about you?
What about you?
thanks for the moon lesson
ReplyDeletewell i guess we'll be lucky tonight and our boys will clean their rooms huh?!! we'll be at a baseball game, so i'll be on the lookout for the moon...gorgeous shot! have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteMy house is actually totally clean once in a blue moon ;-)
ReplyDelete... Elenka irons my clothes once in a blue moon. In reality though... NEVER!
ReplyDeleteIts going to be impossible to view the blue moon here in Mumbai, its raining here. Even in normal days its quite a task to locate the moon with all the high rises. Have a fabulous day Michelle :)
ReplyDeleteI get to sit down once in a blue moon. Off to the store to get the final items to stock the concession stand for the Varsity game. Maybe I can sit down tomorrow.
ReplyDeletei dust my house once in a blue moon. :)
ReplyDeleteThe rain comes to Missouri (once in a Blue Moon). Lucky for us, Hurricane Isaac is sending us some of that rare rain today! I LOVE your posts!
ReplyDeleteWow. Never too late to learn something new! I saw the moon last night but never knew it was the Blue Moon! I know I didn't need my security lights on outside!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend Michelle...
Hoping for clear skies tonight...we're having a fire, so seeing the moon would be lovely :)
ReplyDeleteI say that a lot actually. Will it really be blue? I have never seen a blue moon I will be outside gaping at the sky for sure!
ReplyDeleteOurs only shows with a lick and promise...
ReplyDeleteI'll be on the lookout!
ReplyDeleteThere was a tavern in McMinnville, Oregon called the "Blue Moon". I thought it was a cool name then and still do.. and it's still there! I need to go "home" and visit and go into that place for the first time in my life. I will be watching the moon tonight. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteSamson says he went out to look for it when he heard about it on TV earlier in the month and found the moon looking like it always does and then he had a scary experience on top of it. I should show him this picture, which is just beautiful. And the moon is blue.
ReplyDeleteUntil last year did not know anything about it. Overcast skies over here. Please have you all a good new month.
ReplyDeleteOnce in a blue moon I can lounge, read cooking magazines and play all by myself in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteAwesome photo.

You learn something new everyday. Love your shot and the new banner.
ReplyDeleteI just went out and saw our Moon..it is a totally clear sky for this special event and that in itself is.....Once in a blue moon! xo
ReplyDeleteVaccum? What's that... does John Deere make one?
ReplyDeleteMy wife says I'd be more apt to vacuum if John Deere made one...
Dann in Ohio
So does this mean all those things I do "once in a blue moon" have to now be done THIS WEEKEND?? Ughhh.
ReplyDeletevery cool shot...i like that!! the age-ing wood roof and the crescent daytime moon!! wow!!
ReplyDeleteonce in a blue moon...ditto the husband vacuuming...or doing a load of laundry...or letting me know that he used the last of something in the fridge or pantry...
i better stop here... =)
Our Tuscan expression for this is: 'Ogni morte di papa' (Every time a popes die)...
ReplyDeleteSeveral years ago, Dan and I went to dinner and a movie and then stopped at the lake to see the gorgeous moon over the water. He introduced me to the blue moon and commented that on those days people do those things they only do once in a blue moon.
ReplyDeleteThen he asked me to marry him.
