Super blue blood moon eclipsed



We don't have much chance of seeing it, but a rare, weird-looking moon will set on Wednesday morning at about 5:30 am. The super moon turns reddish brown during an eclipse, hence the name, blood moon.  It's also a blue moon, the second full moon of this interminable month. January has lasted so long, it feels like there should have been several by now!

Never mind, the welcome Ground Hog Day is just around the corner. Not spring yet by any means, but at least to the gardeners, February feels like the start of spring in western Washington.
