Several Kate Spade agenda's ago, I learned that Native Americans assigned names to each month's full moon. Gotta love an educational day planner...
January - Wolf Moon
February - Snow Moon
March - Worm Moon
April - Pink Moon
May - Flower Moon
June - Strawberry Moon
July - Buck Moon
August - Sturgeon Moon
September - Harvest Moon
October - Hunter's Moon
November - Beaver Moon
December - Cold Moon
And, every 2-3 years there's an extra full moon in a single month referred to as a Blue Moon. The term "blue moon" is also used metaphorically to describe a rare event. As in, "once in a blue moon Allie thinks of things other than shopping and chocolate". Did I mention it only comes around every 2-3 years?
Kindness of Kate Spade and her penchant for adding trivia to her yearly refills. This is the kind of abstract information that keeps me afloat during games of Trivial Pursuit with Babe and his smartypants friends...XXOO
I love this sort of information! It is great for cocktail parties etc!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun information! I like the idea of the pink moon and the strawberry moon next month. xoxo
ReplyDeletedo you see a rabbit in the moon? or a man in the moon?
ReplyDeleteLove that my birth month is Strawberry moon, but too bad my sweet daughter's is Worm Moon. :(
ReplyDeletethanks for passing this along- love that my sis and I were born under the Pink Moon :) Knew about November's moon, but only b/c a deliciously naughty rowerboy informed me ;)!

There is a full moon every month? I better get a better planner.
ReplyDeleteBest,

I agree with suburban princess.
ReplyDeleteThis is great information to drop at a cocktail party or if you are seated next to a boring dinner partner. It's fascinating info.
Thank you and have a very heppy weekend. Love to Pilgie and his new friend.
Aaaah - love this info about the Blue Moon. I'll remember this for your next blog contest, which I expect to win!! ;-) You're the best. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI'm adding this to my repartee. Random information has gotten me out of so many akward conversations. If they don't think I'm totally lame, thinking I'm "quirky" or "eccentric" usually keeps them at bay.
ReplyDeleteAng it was beautiful last night!
