Friday:
Tonight’s skies are lit up by the Full “Sap” Moon, sometimes called the Full “Worm” Moon, thought – technically, the Moon was Full during last night’s total lunar eclipse. It may take a few to several weeks before we start seeing worms emerging from the thawing ground, but the Sap Moon seems to fit better, with steam rolling out of the sugar houses after a mild afternoon.
Saturday:
The Ides of March meant the middle of March to the Romans, and specifically the night of the Full Moon, because their calendar was a lunar calendar. The Full Moon from last night would actually be this month’s “ides”, however, today’s standardized calendars are no longer lunar.
