Phil, at the site where we read about the blue moon, we read about 
the harvest moon.  I went to that site, I mean, Anna went to the site 
because I wanted to know what the harvest moon, meant.  The harvest 
moon comes from when a name was given to each month.  For example, I 
think January is the wolf moon,  February, the snow moon and the 
harvest moon was one of the fall months, I can't remember.   December 
is the cold moon.
