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.
