Moon alert! The full moon we just had—you can still see it about quarter phased now—is called the Pascal moon, the moon that signals Easter. Pascal is the name of my oldest son. It’s also my favorite moon of the year—the time that carpet phlox and tulips bloom.  May’s moon is called the Flower Moon or the Milk Moon. Swoon! (poster from: theohpioneer)
