The Worm Moon: March 5, 2015

I looked out of my window, this evening, and saw this beautiful Moon.

The Worm Moon: March 5, 2015

It’s still too cold and snowy for the earthworms but with a partly cloudy sky you should get a peak at the full moon tonight. The full moon is Thursday afternoon at 1:05 p.m. EST. Every full moon is given a name. This one is the Full Worm Moon.

“In this month, the ground softens and the earthworm casts reappear, inviting the return of the robins. The more northern tribes called this the Full Crow Moon, when the cawing of crows signals the end of winter, or the Full Crust Moon because the snow cover becomes crusted from thawing by day and freezing at night. The Full Sap Moon, marking the time to tap maple trees, is another variation.”
