I looked out the window last night around Midnight and I saw a pretty bright moon.... almost full and I wondered to myself is this the Harvest Moon ?
In Fact the Harvest Moon is Tonight . Thursday October 1st 2020
So this is my First Selection for my BlurtMusic October Playlist:
Harvest Moon by Neal Young....

To me this is the quintessential October Autumn Harvest Festival song. Growing up in Canada these Autumnal Equinox festivals are huge. We always rake the kids to the Nearest Pumpkin patch to celebrate.... Hay rides, Apple cider, corn maze, .... so much fun.
Here are five cool facts about Thursday's Harvest Moon: https://www.theweathernetwork.com/ca/news/article/five-cool-facts-about-2020-harvest-moon
WHAT IS A HARVEST MOON?
A Harvest Moon is the Full Moon that occurs closest to the Autumnal Equinox.
Depending on the year, it can happen anywhere from two weeks before or two weeks after the equinox.
In 2020, Full Moons fall on September 2 (20 days before the equinox) and October 1 (just 9 days after). So, the October 1 Full Moon takes the title of Harvest Moon this year.
