the Last Snows Moon




The March full moon has a rather unfortunate name, it is called the Worm Moon. Anyway here in the frozen North the worms are much too cold to be out frolicking about, and if I remember my 10th grade biology correctly those little crawly fellows are out looking for some action, so I find the name Chaste moon a bit contradictory, or very apt, depending on where you live.

March: Worm Moon
Native Americans called this last full moon of winter the worm moon after the worm trails that would appear in the newly thawed ground. Other names include chaste moon, death moon, crust moon (a reference to snow that would become crusty as it thawed during the day and froze at night), and sap moon, after the tapping of the maple trees.-National Geographic

Perhaps it is wishful thinking, but them may-be not, I will be calling this moon the Last Snows Moon, it might be raining tonight, but if it is snow it will be one of the last for the season. A crocus crusher, onion or garlic snow, what ever you wish to call them, its time to call it melted and gone.
