Who needs a watch when you have the moon?
In honor of the rare Blue Moon to occur on New Years Eve this year, I decided to look up more information on the moon cycles in general. Apparently, The Algonquin Native Americans named the moons in order to keep track of the seasons. I found the names interesting and thought I would share them with you!
The Farmers' Almanac lists these Algonquin Indian names for the full moon of each month:
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: Corn Moon
October: Harvest Moon
November: Beaver Moon
December: Cold Moon
