The Full Flower Moon @ 10:20 a.m. was/is thoroughly hidden by clouds
here in southern Maryland.
This tradition of naming Moons is rich in history.
We use Full Moon names that were used during Native American and Colonial times to help track the seasons. Depending on the tribe, May’s Full Moon was called the Full Flower Moon as well as Mother’s Moon, Milk Moon, and Corn Planting Moon. The May Moon marked a time of increasing fertility, with temperatures warm enough for safely bearing young, a near end to late frosts, and plants in bloom.

It lit up the entire yard. And there were fireflies! It was such a pretty night.
