July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |

Congratulations on your virtual blogging adventure!](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/group-BCoF_2-1901868_14.gif) Hi! I'll take a stab at illuminating the moon with a short description of possible events.Full moon, super moon, and Hunters moon are all descriptions of the events the moon will herald on Thursday October 17, early morning. The moon's orbit is oval shaped. The orbit is constantly changing during monthly circling around the earth. Now and for the next couple days it will be shifting closest to the earth for this year. Once named a Hunter's moon because the sunset and moon rise are now closer together. This causes more light for visibility at dusk, which would benefit hunters who have not yet returned from the hunt. This year's super moon is super because it appears so large at this particular time and will showcase a special event. It will combine with possible sighting of comet Tsuchinshan-atlas. If the sky is clear the comet can be sighted with binoculars. The comet is going to make a close pass to the earth on Saturday the 19th of October. It is attracted to the sun. As it moves toward the sun it heats up causing a long tail to stretch out behind it. The moons titles also were given because of harvest and autumn events in the natural world around us. It is interesting to me that quite often special events like this are impossible to view because this time of year our skies can be covered with heavy clouds in the evening. If you have clear skies and like special natural sights this is one to enjoy. |
