pink moon



Tonight is the Pink Moon, folks. And although it might be trite, I couldn't resist posting such a great song.

From the Farmer's Almanac:
This name came from the herb moss pink, or wild ground phlox, which is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring. Other names for this month’s celestial body include the Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and among coastal tribes the Full Fish Moon, because this was the time that the shad swam upstream to spawn.
