There is so much excitement that comes from something that seems to be getting close.

I liked the history, and I know these specific tribes have more to them than meets the eye...someday I may tell you about them, but I loved the poem.

This was so very special luv, all of it.I live in Algonquin territory and the reserve is just about 10km's from me.Have a happy weekend my friend.
"The Algonquin tribes kept track of the seasons by naming each recurring full moon. Long before it was dubbed the “extreme supermoon,” the orb of night during the month of March was called by the less melodramatic but equally colorful “full worm moon.” The name refers to the change in temperature and the oncoming spring thaw; earthworm casts appear, promising the return of the robin. Tribes north of the Algonquin knew this phase as the “Full Crow Moon,” which refers to the cawing of crows – signaling the end of winter."
