Last night, October 17th saw the sky filled with the full Hunter's Moon which also happened to be one of four supermoons in 2024.
The name Hunter's Moon is applied to the full moon that falls during the month of October and was so named because the month of October was generally spent hunting meat and preserving it for the coming months of winter that lay ahead. Hunter's Moon originates from the Anglo Saxons but prevails in other cultures under different names such as Freezing Moon, Falling Leaves Moon, or Seed Fall Moon.
Last night's full moon was also a supermoon meaning the moon was in very close proximity to Earth and appeared up to 30% bigger and brighter in the sky. It coincides with the high Spring Tides and storm force winds of up to 75mph or greater anticipated, so there is bound to be localized flooding and damage with the ensuing tidal surges.
Thank you everyone for your wishes over my finger which is healing well, and I've been able to start doing a little crocheting again, with care.
Until next time,
Stay safe, stay well

I stood at my front door with camera for a while hoping the clouds would move from the moon, but they didn't!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are healing well.
It was certainly such a bright moon last night and I had a restless night's sleep (awake and downstairs for hours in the night). Glad your finger is on the mend again. Tam has got some little balls of cotton to crochet dishclothes with and drinks mats for little Christmas presents this year (we are all feeling the pinch and having a frugal Christmas).
ReplyDeleteThe moon was wonderful here, too, and looked quite spooky, sailing in and out of fluffy clouds. Glad your finger is getting better . Have a great weekend, hugs!
ReplyDeleteSo pleased that your finger is healing well.
ReplyDeleteWasn't the Hunters Moon amazing, there have been some wonderful photographs of it ... including the one here :)
I can't believe the speed in which October is passing and this coming weekend we alter the clocks!
My good wishes.
All the best Jan
Hello Debbie, just popping in to say I'm still chuckling at the comment you left on the low carb diabetic today (re: the clocks change) LOL
ReplyDeleteMany thanks and ...
All the best Jan
Ever the class clown! I can't take credit, it was borrowed. Glad it made you chuckle though!
