Full Pink Moon

Pink...I must like it. My hot pink phone came about because two years ago when I renewed my contract it was on ATT.com for free. With a pink phone I figure less chance of getting stolen, at least by a guy.

Last November Walmart had a brand of an MP3 I wanted. They displayed one in light pink so I thought that's the only color it comes in. Yes I bought it. It's cute like a toy. I found out via a Radio Shack flyer it comes in black, red, or blue. Ditto on the not getting stolen by a guy bit.

On my hunt for an extra umbrella I wanted that light lime green color you see on road construction workers and some school signs. Well Target didn't have that color. By the way, Tote is a good brand of umbrella. Red was my next choice. Eye doctors say red is good color to see far away. Hence, that's why I have never had a red car, cops spot them easier. See when it's raining and I am out in it, I want people to see me so they don't run me over. So no red umbrella either. The next best color they had was pank (aka pink).

"April is known for its showers and ever-warming temperatures, but it is also known as a month when spring flowers begin to show up. Herb moss pink, or wild ground phlox, is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring. As the name infers, the flowers are pink in color, thus the name for April's full moon.

This pink moon has also been called: the full sprouting grass moon, the egg moon, and among coastal tribes, the full fish moon, because this was the time that the shad swam upstream to spawn.

According to the Farmers' Almanac, this year's full pink moon will take place on April 9th at 10:56 m EDT.

In 2009, the full pink moon is also the full paschal moon which helps set the date for Easter. Easter is determined as being the first Sunday following the first full moon that occurs on or after the day of the vernal (spring) equinox. "
