The "Harvest Moon" or "Corn Moon" is the full moon that occurs closest to fall's equinox. The full moon was after the sunset on Wednesday and peaked at 7:13am on Thursday. The Harvest Moon was especially visible overnight although it was actually "full" this morning. No matter where you are on Earth, this full moon – and every full moon – ascends over your eastern horizon around the time of sunset. It’s always highest in the sky in the middle of the night, when the sun is below your feet. That’s because a full moon is opposite the sun. Being opposite the sun, the moon is showing us its fully lighted hemisphere, or “day” side. The almost full Harvest Moon should also be visible for North American viewers on Thursday night, when the moon will turn full for observers in Asia. This annual celestial sight is called the "Harvest Moon" since its light allowed farmers in the Northern Hemisphere to harvest their crops for several hours more into the night according to the Farmers' Almanac.
And that explained a crazy morning, day at work and crazy evening! The Abuelos were able to get Kendall off to and from school on the bus. We had our 6 month post placement visit with a new social worker tonight and we enjoyed meeting Mallori tonight. We had dinner together and enjoyed getting to know each other. Kendall is ready for his spelling test tomorrow and we are watching Percy Jackson - Lightening Thief again in Spanish.
Buenas noches!
