Writing in the heat with fans and ice tea and 24 years or so under our belt.

It’s been 9 days since the new moon, when I posted last. It is the shape of the moon’s highly elliptical orbit around the earth that causes the large fluctuations in the timing between primary phases. During perigee, when the moon is closest to the Earth, like now, we get longer lunations. Sometimes that extra lag time between phases is a gift.
