Well, maybe between the hard it is enjoyable times like riding into town just enjoying our leisurely day. We had a blast eating breakfast, lounging at the library and snacking in front of evening favorite shows.
Another joy was October’s full Moon that appeared tonight. Similar to the full moon in September 2021, the Harvest Moon, this moon will rise around the same time for several nights in a row.
According to The Old Farmer's Almanac, this moon was to be a stunning lunation and would appear larger and more orange as it drifts over the horizon around sunset.
However, this is actually a trick of the eye known as the "moon illusion." When the Moon is high overhead, it is dwarfed by the vast hemisphere of the heavens and appears to our eyes as a small disk in the sky.
By contrast, when the Moon is low, it is viewed in relation to earthly objects, such as chimneys or trees, whose size and shape provide scale. Your brain compares the size of the Moon to the trees, buildings, or other reference points, and suddenly, the Moon looks massive!
Anyway "Hard" is on vacation around here!!!
