There is a full moon setting in the west this New Year's morning. It is the second full moon in a month and the second one this week. Wednesday night was also graced by a full moon. Two full moons in a month are known as a "blue moon," though mistakenly so. A blue moon is actually the 4th full or harvest moon in a season (winter, spring, summer, fall). There are normally three. This happens about seven times every nineteen years. For a blue moon to fall on New Year's Eve is uncommon. It happens only three or four times a century. So as you begin 2010, remember that it started with a blue moon.
Have a blessed, safe, and happy New Year's Day!!
