When first I felt the pain I thought why should I complain.

The answer came to prevent distain, “You are mine and I be yours”. To own all moments worth a cue.

My stay is all for you and those to which you direct. My pull to keep sense from a slumber bother.

As you sleep a curious row, my still vigil will send its flow.

Break all bonds not precise,not given for your relief. Then peace protects all stoop, when bend pushes ware.

My power is all in all a classic step. A monthly date to expect.

Full Sturgeon Moon, Friday August 28th 2026.

Trip around the Moon, Artemis 2…

Next week 🔧📐🌡️🫰

NASA’s Artemis II mission, the first crewed flight in the Artemis program, is scheduled to launch next week from Launch Complex 39B at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The target launch date is Wednesday, April 1, 2026, with the launch window opening at 6:24 PM EDT. Therefore, the launch is scheduled for the evening.

Good Luck

January 23rd the moon is close to Saturn and Neptune

Catch I fish by the tail and the new moon on the 23rd Western sky after sunset. Look for Saturn by Neptune close to the new moon.

Merry Christmas

The start of winter is often multicultural in its tenure as invoking protection from unseen calamities. Salvation was often sought through holidays.

The Earth has ocean currents and air currents. Every kind of vortex, wind, tunnels, wind shears and the whole kitt caboodle gives us predictable weather and most instances.

Gravity from a friend

Our moon stands solid withness and pulls on our oceans and our currents and gives us predictable weather

Good Job

We’re taking you on steady.

Tom Edwards prunes the tree at the Bailey house downtown information center on Voght Street in Merritt, BC. Somebody said careful that ladder don’t fall and guess what? In Merritt, there’s only a few leaves that have turned color.

Just to frost temperature over night October 6 forecast low 32f.

The full moon this October is a supermoon and on the 6th the forecast for the temperature in Merritt, 600 meters above sea level and in the BC Central South interior will experience another super hunter/harvest Moon.

When and wear

The full Harvest Moon on October 6, 2025, is a significant celestial event, as it is also a Supermoon.Harvest Supermoon DetailsTime of FullnessThe Moon will reach its moment of peak illumination (fullness) at 8:48 P.M. PDT on Monday, October 6, 2025, in Merritt, British Columbia.Moonrise and DirectionFor observers in Merritt, BC, the full Moon will: * Rise at 6:09 P.M. PDT on Monday, October 6, 2025. * Direction: It will rise generally towards the East, near the horizon, a characteristic of the full Moon around the autumnal equinox. The optimal time to view its golden-orange hue is shortly after it rises.The Supermoon EffectThe Harvest Moon on October 6, 2025, is the first of three consecutive Supermoons this year, meaning it occurs close to perigee (the Moon’s closest point to Earth in its orbit).Distance from EarthWhile the Moon’s exact distance is constantly changing, the full Moon phase on October 6 will be at a close distance. The closest point in the orbit (perigee) for this full moon period is around 226,250 miles (approximately 364,117 kilometers). This distance is significantly closer than the average Earth-Moon distance of about 239,000 miles.Why it’s a SupermoonA Supermoon is a full Moon that occurs near perigee. Due to this closer distance, it will appear slightly larger (about 6.6% larger) and noticeably brighter (about 13% brighter) than a typical full Moon.What makes it the Harvest MoonThe Harvest Moon is simply the full Moon that occurs closest to the autumnal equinox (the start of fall). Because the equinox in 2025 was on September 22, the full Moon on October 6 is the closest one to that date, earning it the title of Harvest Moon. This timing causes the Moon to rise relatively close to sunset for several nights, providing extra twilight illumination for farmers, which is how it got its name.

Back to Normal, Moon

September 7 and 8th

Strangely enough this happens to be published post number 4666. On this site. Just a coincidence… Ya think …

Moon all done with blood

So, the Moon is back 22:15 hrs approximately, and our moon is back without its blood colouring. I can’t help feeling that we miss something. It’s calm right now. You know getting on to 10:30 on Sunday night and the forest fire smoke is abated and it doesn’t seem 110° anymore. I think it only got to 100° f here something’s over with. I don’t know what it is. People kind of a emptiness in my spirit like something missed.

Well, if it was conflict we missed out on. Well that’s good. Peace and prosperity to all my friends and adherence people. I follow those that follow me. The world may have had some surgery, and recovery was just beginning. Enjoy!

Statement as of 9:53 PM Pacific,

Moon August  2025

Moon August 21st British Columbia

The moon is said to go dark on the 22-23rd so the dark sky for viewing the planet parade will be enhanced.

The new moon will occur on Friday, August 22, 2025, at 11:06 PM PDT in Vancouver, British Columbia, and is sometimes referred to as a Black Moon because it’s the third new moon in a single astronomical season. The new moon phase happens when the Moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, making its lit side face away from us. This results in the Moon becoming virtually invisible to the naked eye. This lack of moonlight creates an exceptionally dark sky, which is ideal for stargazing and viewing deep-sky objects like star clusters and the Milky Way.
August 2025 Sky and Planet Positions 🔭
In August, a “planet parade” of six planets and the Moon is visible. On the mornings leading up to the new moon, you’ll be able to see Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter aligned in the eastern sky, while Saturn and Neptune will be in the southern sky. As the month progresses, Saturn will become more visible, and Neptune will still be in the same general area. For the best viewing, you should find a location away from city lights and with a clear view of the horizon. The best time to observe the planets would be in the early morning before sunrise.
