THE HARVEST MOON
================
OCTOBER 3, 2009



HARVEST MOON: Tonight's full Moon has a special name--the Harvest Moon.

It's the full moon closest to the northern autumnal equinox (Sept. 22).

In years past, farmers depended on the light of the Harvest Moon to gather ripening crops late into the night.

At present, we appreciate it mainly for its beauty.


Go out this week-end and contemplate the peaceful Harvest-Moon.
You'll enjoy a sweet experience.
