The largest and brightest full moon of 2024 lit up the skies of Earth on Thursday (October 17) and this was the third of four consecutive supermoons. The Hunter's Moon, as its name suggests, has a strong and historical connection to hunting. In older times, October was a crucial time for stocking up on meat for the winter, and the full moon allowed for more time in the day to hunt as well as increased light for nighttime tracking and hunting. Game was typically larger due to the animals fattening up in preparation for the winter months, and hunters were rewarded with more meat.
With overnight freeze warnings, mornings were chilly, and we woke up to frost on the ground. The days warmed up quickly.
The sunflowers at the farm are just about finished for the year due to Hurricane Helene's strong wind and rain that blew through the region a couple weeks ago and now the recent frost.
However, there are a few sunflowers that aren't ready to give up and they bring us some sunshine on the ground.
This eye-catching vehicle showed up in the parking lot at the farm. Is the owner an all-out Kamala supporter or is the the thought that if she is the next president, the country will turn into a zoo? One thing for sure, a lot of people stopped to take photos standing by this truck while its owner shopped.
A trip to Cleveland last weekend. These are moments to live for. My little grandson wants to do everything his dad does. And he does it wearing his dinosaur rain boots.
A nearly 40 degree span of temps yesterday here. We are a few weeks away from the first frost.
ReplyDeleteDC doesn't get as cold as Ohio.
DeleteThat car is fascinating! I saw that coming up on the 17th. It was huge and bright. Our 3 days of chilly temps are all gone now. It's back up to 98 degrees.
ReplyDeleteThat moon was gorgeous...so big and bright!
