Full Blue Moon

This is the second full moon for the month of March making it a Blue Moon!  This is how it appeared as it was setting in the western sky this morning.

Foraging for food wherever they can find open ground.

Celebrate the Vernal Equinox!

"To find the Universal elements is enough

To find the air and the water exhilarating

To be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter

To be thrilled by the stars at night

To be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in Spring

These are some of the rewards of the simple life!"
