Supermoon - Blue Moon! August 2024

Rob and I were up at the French River, visiting Art and Chris. Enjoyed some great meals and tromps in the forest... Jumping in the river after a sauna with the sky full of stars above. As it happens, we also went fishing on the full sturgeon moon, but didn't catch anything (probably would have thrown it back into the lake anyway).




Now with each full moon I also count the moons of Nora! She was born on a full Buck moon and we are all already in her orbit! I am so impressed with how quickly Alex and Penny have taken to parenthood. I want to post lots of photos of her but am dialling back plastering her photos on social media, even though she is the cutest baby EVER.

Wondering how a blue moon could happen in the middle of the month? A seasonal blue moon is the third full moon in a season that has four full moons. In the summer of 2024, the full moons occur on June 21, July 21, August 19, and September 18. Therefore, the full moon in August, being the third in this sequence, was referred to as a blue moon.
