Alicia Luo of San Gabriel bought about two dozen moon cakes, a couple of ducks, some chickens and beef to celebrate the harvest moon. The harvest moon is the full moon that occurs each year closest to the autumnal equinox. It is said to shine more brightly and more golden than any other moon of the year. This year's harvest moon was Sept. 12.

The harvest moon was obscured by clouds Monday night, but last night it was hanging in the sky, round and majestic, although it had a ring around it. We have always thought that a ring around the moon foretold a change in the weather. (Remember Longfellow's "Wreck of the Hesperus"? One line went, "Last night the moon had a golden ring, and tonight no moon we see.") The weather is changing. Although it is still mild, the breeze that is scattering autumn leaves through the air has an ominous note that whispers of colder weather to come. The leaves are turning color from day to day now. Yellow poplars stand out amid the green trees on Pilot Knob, and the underbrush shows the deep red of the sumac and sourwood. Dogwood is donning scarlet robes, while the beeches are slowly turning to their ...
ARCADIA - According to Asian folklore, Monday night's full Harvest Moon shone brighter than any other this year. The Harvest Moon occurs each fall and is the full moon that occurs closest to the autumnal equinox. Asian communities celebrate the tradition with festivals, gifts and storytelling.
While this is the second quarter in a row that the overall credit availability index reading has dipped below the crucial level of 50, this ongoing corrosion of confidence is driven mainly by speculation over future conditions, not current conditions, which are holding up and have yet to see meaningful deterioration," said Donald Klepper-Smith, chief economist and director of research for DataCore Partners, which manages the survey.
Wednesday's sunset gave way to quite a night show. Though it's tough to come to grips with the end of summer, autumn has entered with a bang this year. Northern America witnessed the beginning of autumn at 11:09 p.m. Wednesday, when a full moon hung high in the sky. Those two occurrences together meant West Virginians - and others across the country - got treated to the rare "super harvest moon" - the setting sun and rising moon mixing together to create a kind of 360-degree, summer-autumn twilight glow, according to NASA Science.
* Once you've picked your produce, store in a cool place and don't wash until you're ready to use it. One of the biggest challenges for gardeners this time of the year is having too much produce at the same time. In many cases, it's simply too much to eat on your own. So this harvest season, why not donate extra produce to a local food bank for neighbors in need? One in eight people is at risk for hunger and, with record numbers of people turning to food banks, it's more important than ever to contribute fresh, delicious and healthy produce. The initiative is called GroGood.
