Blue(t) Moon


Happy Easter! Bluet is a week old today and her mother has finally resurfaced to contribute to this blog!

Bluet had the good fortune to be born under a full moon early last Sunday morning and we have been so pleased to have her with us one week before her due date today, which is not nearly as exciting from a lunar astronomy perspective. Last night was a waning gibbous moon, and while myself and my dad do know what this means, we are probably the exception, at least for people that appear to be normal otherwise. (Whether we appear to be normal otherwise is up to you, the reader, to decide.)
