What a moon!

I thought I had a so called writers blog. No inspiration to write anything "poetical". However this morning, after two nights having -30C , first thing I saw was at the west side of the sky the departing moon as brilliant as the sun in the brightest day. It's getting more in the shadow of the earth but it left the impression it's laughing at all the world.

I remember hearing and reading in the old time Farmer's Almanacs that the frost in June and in end of August or September are always coming when moon is full. It was full just three days ago. Is that the trick it pulled on us? I was curious what the science has to say about. I clicked on Google and questioned "Is there scientific explanation of cold at full moon time". It took me hours to read, but there was no definite answer. All kinds of formulas, but they did not mention any connection with the moon. How did the old time farmers got to that observation? I have been watching it too and it is happening, though not always the same strength.

For having a peace of mind I just let the thought go. God created the world and the whole universe and all the parts in it. So that is his order why these things happen; not that we always pay attention to it or try to work knowing it with.

It was though a very pretty sight this morning. I don't think I ever had noticed that the moon can be so bright especially when the sun is already up on the other side of the sky.

Superstition or faith?...
