  1. Nature has gone berserk these last few years. Our trees are confused. They yield twice in a year sometimes which has never happened before. Having said that this full moon has lost its significance. Sad but true.

    • There is nothing superstitious about Friday 13th and a full moon, Witty, my most normal, gifted and loving daughter was born on exactly that day! I’m so glad I’m not superstitious, it must be terrible to distrust everyone and everything, don’t you think? Thanks for commenting.
