Blue Moon


We look for the moon almost every night with Charlie. It's one of my favorite things to do with him. Recently the moon has been absolutely beautiful and has been visible during the afternoon. Charlie always says that the moon is being silly when it comes out during the daytime. He seems to think it must be confused.

Last night, the moon was huge and particularly bright. We all went out on our deck to take a closer look. This picture doesn't do justice to how gorgeous the moon actually looked. It was surrounded by clouds and branches, and I could have looked at it all night. Nick Googled it to see why is was so pretty. Turns out it is called a blue moon, and it is actually considered bad luck because it is the 13th full moon of the year. It's hard to believe that something so spectacular could be considered bad luck.
