One of the most popular Full Moons is at hand. At 3:45pm (Eastern) today the Full Harvest Moon appears. Two out of three years this moon occurs in September. The third year it can be found in October. It is no wonder that the moon got it’s name. The light from this Full Moon gives farmers an additional 50+ minutes to get the work done. A couple days ago, I mentioned that Southern Colo. was getting a hard freeze. This time of year, farmers need every last minute of light to pull in crops, particularly when there is cold weather coming.
