Blue Moon

Blue moons are relatively rare; they only occur, well, once in a
Blue Moon
. Except after the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883, when all the particulate matter in the atmosphere caused the moon to appear blue for almost two years. Click here for upcoming blue moons.

You sure are covering all the great Moons. Love this song. Cowboy Junkies did a great cover.

Helen are you a moon child?
I am!

Elvis singing this on my transistor radio...

Lisa, I'm not sure if I'm a moon child; does that have something to do with the time one was born? I like the idea of being one though.

Otter said...

Yes! Born between June 21 and July 22? Then you are a moonchild.

Helen said...

Drat, I was born in late October; does that make me a pumpkin kid?

Otter said...

Well since your Canadian 'eh, with an October birthday that would make you a cornucopia kid.

Indigo Bunting said...

Maybe you're a great pumpkin kid. The great pumpkin rises like the moon.

True, and I always did love that Charlie Brown show...
