As we begin to prepare for our transition from summer to fall in about a month, the harvest moon comes to mind.  As many of you know, I have one of those inquiring minds. So I've provided a tidbit of the intriquing information in the next paragraph that I found during my research on this subject.

The Harvest Moon - a.k.a. Wine Moon, Singing Moon, and Elk Call Moon - refers to the period of time nearest to the autumnal equinox when the moon is at or near its fullest stage.  The latest date that a harvest moon will appear is October 13th.  In some cultures, it is traditional for those whose birthdays fall on or near a harvest moon to provide a feast for the rest of the community. Just as interestingly, each full moon has been given a name for each month and coincides with Native American myth and folklore.
