Today:
Tonight’s skies are illuminated by the Full “Sap” Moon, sometimes called the Full “Worm” Moon, although It might 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.
