I love the evenings and looking up at the moon. We just had our beautiful harvest moon of 2012. The full moon that is closest to the autumnal equinox is the Harvest Moon. This moon will be very full and bright for several nights. The long moon lit nights are what characterize the Harvest Moon. It probably received it’s name from farmers who were able to harvest their crops later into the evening by the light of this beautiful full moon.
When I was a little girl, we would sing this song:
Shine On Harvest Moon
By Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth (1903)
Shine on, shine on harvest moon
Up in the sky,
I ain’t had no lovin’
Since January, February, June or July
Snow time ain’t no time to stay
Outdoors and spoon,
So shine on, shine on harvest moon,
For me and my gal.
Later, one of my favorite songs by Neil Young became one of my all time favorites.
I hope you enjoy this video link of Neil singing this song.
Have a great evening!
Love, Nancy
