Once in a Blue Moon.....



A "blue moon" is the "extra" full moon in years that have thirteen moons. Most years have 12 full moons which occur monthly but in addition to those 12 full cycles, each solar calendar year contains an excess of 11 days. The extra days accumulate so there is an extra full moon.
On the Nawth River (North for those of you who pronounce your R's) and at Scituate Habaw (Harbor ...) that means a "freak'n" high tide! We have never seen the water this high, our neighbor's dock is almost completely under water. Add a fresh coating of snow and we have a winter wonderland......













at least Tucker thinks so!

This is just the winter wonderland you have been hoping for!
Tucker has that 'come and get me look', along with his winter coat. Is that what Uggs are made of?
