It's Friday the thirteenth and we will have a Harvest Moon tonight. Hope you all can see it.

2. Great song!

Hope to be able to see the full moon tonight-they’re calling for stormy weather here in central Ohio early in the evening and clearing later. That Harvest Moon is always a beautiful sight! And it’s going to be a mighty long time til it occurs again on Friday the 13th. Pretty sure I’m not going to be around to observe that one! Lol!

3. Sweet, melancholy song.

The song "Harvest Moon" is about a love...perhaps a love affair. Perhaps of unrequited love where one confesses he/she is still in love. It's getting late (in life) and he wants to see her again.

"Every full moon has a name rooted in various cultures and traditions. The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox. Usually it occurs in September, but it can be as late as Oct. 7.

The name stems from exactly what you’d expect. Its appearance in the sky was a sign to farmers that it was time to bring in the bushels, and it allowed for a longer, brighter twilight.

Though “Harvest Moon” is the most popular name for the one that rises in October, thanks to the Celtic and Cherokee traditions, there are many more monikers for the autumn full moon:

*Hunter’s Moon (Colonial American)
*Blood Moon (Neo-pagan, Wiccan and English Medieval)
*Kindly Moon (Chinese)
*Blackberry Moon (Choctaw)"
