The full moon occurring nearest to the autumnal equinox is Also known as the Harvest Moon. You can see the Harvest moon TONIGHT!! This year the equinox is September 22, or the first day of Fall! The Night and Day will be equal lengths.
Did you know we carve pumpkins because during the Irish Potato Famine immigrants that came over to America carved turnips, potatoes, and beats and put them in their windows with a candle inside to welcome the deceased. Because they didn’t have many turnips, potatoes, or beats they started using Pumpkins. This makes me never want to carve a pumpkin again. I really don't want to welcome dead spirits into my home.
