OOPS! I goofed.

I just clicked on my Shine On Harvest Moon sheet music that I shared a few days ago, and I discovered that I had shared the wrong page! 

The page I linked IS from that song, but I meant to share the page that had the lyrics for the main "Shine On" chorus.  Oh well, sorry about that... I've linked the page with the main Harvest Moon chorus lyrics to that post below.

Autumn Leaves and Harvest Moon: NEW STUFF!

Still more autumnal collage sheets!  I couldn't resist creating a design of falling Fall leaves.  There is also a pretty Victorian painting of little girls with a pile of autumn leaves, and a little bird.  And the Shine On Harvest Moon sheet music I shared the other day inspired a whole design of full moon faces and other harvest moon pictures.  These are both available at Lunagirl.com along with a whole collection of autumn-themed and autumn-related collage sheets and image collections.  All at a special new price of just $2.50 each.  Have fun, and enter the Autumn blog challenge!  Now I really must stop working and go cook supper!

Free Fall Ephemera: Harvest Moon Sheet Music

Here's a fun freebie I came across today while looking for autumnal images:  A page of the sheet music for the song Shine On Harvest Moon.  The Harvest Moon has just passed (see my blog post from a few days ago).  I may use this on a collage sheet design, but thought I would share it with my blog readers for free!  (click on the pic to enlarge it to full size and then save to your computer)

Shine On, Harvest Moon

The Full Moon tonight is the HARVEST MOON.

Check out our "Celestial" collage sheet HERE (second row down).

The Harvest Moon is the moon closest to the Autumn Equinox (the first day of Fall, when the day and night are exactly the same length), which this year is on Sunday, September 22.  The next full moon, usually in October, is named the Hunter's Moon.

The Harvest Moon and Hunter's Moon appear larger and brighter to some people, but they're really not. This time of year there is no long period of darkness between sunset and moonrise of the full moon, so the night seems brighter than usual. This allowed farmers to stay out and work in their fields by moonlight under the Harvest Moon, and later, under the Hunter's Moon, allowed hunters to see the deer and other animals that came out to browse in the then-harvested fields.

Go out and dance under the big bright moon!

What is a BLUE MOON? When there are two full moons during one month, the second one is called the Blue Moon.

FAIRY MOON? When there are two NEW moons (dark moons, or "moonless" nights) during one month, the second is called a Fairy Moon.

MOON LORE

The Full Moon this month is called HUNTER'S MOON.
Full Moon is Thursday night!
