Hi my pals, I am doing this joyfully in honor of Remington.
Pink Moon in April
(PHOTO CREDIT: stock.xchang)
On Thursday (April 25, 2013), there will be a full moon on the night of a lunar eclipse. The pink full moon Thursday night will be visible the best to those living in Europe, Africa, and most of Asia, reports The Weather Channel. For those living in North America, the eclipse will not be simple since the full moon takes place in the afternoon when the moon will be under the horizon.
Wondering when the ideal time to watch it is? According to Space.com, the pink full moon will be the deepest around 4 p.m., EDT, and will be gone by 5 p.m., EDT.
As for why the moon is given the nickname "pink moon," the National Geographic explains it was named after wildflower.
"Northern Native Americans call April's full moon the pink moon after a species of early blooming wildflower," reports the National Geographic. What's more, other cultures have other names for the full moon in April, including: the sprouting grass moon, the egg moon, and the fish moon.
Mommy and I got a package today in the mail and we were super excited! Mommies birthday is Saturday, so I thought it might be for her.
I will let the gift speak for itself.
My sweet Remington always told me "I love you to the moon and back", he must have had this beautiful music box made for me. It was so nice of Beth to send it to us. When you open it, the song plays "My Girl".
I still miss Remington every day, but this was a wonderful surprise for both Mommy and me. It makes me so happy thinking of him every time I open it and listen to our song. Remington brought such joy and now I have a special reminder.
Thank you Beth and thank you Sweet Angel Remington. I will always love you, you and no other.
Run free and be happy!!

p.s. If we listen real hard, I bet we will hear him howl. I will join him, will you??

{{{SIGH}}} We have been watching the moonlight grow BRIGHTER and BRIGHTER for the last few nights... and THINKING of our dear Furend Remington. WE are so thrilled that you have continued his RRC studies and have told us about the PINK MOON in his honor.
{{{SIGH}}} What a wonderful gift he had chosen for YOU and it is so very much SPECIAL that Miss Beth would send it at your Mom's Birfday time. {{{Sigh}}} WE can FEEL his Love !!!
Remington would be so proud of your RRC studies and letting us all know about the moon. Like others we can't help think of him when we look up and see that beautiful moon. And that is a very beautiful gift.
Blessings,
Goose
That was so beautiful Sasha. We're all in tears over here reading about your lovely gift from your Sweet Remington.
Happy Birthday Mom! We hope you have a pawtastic birthday.
Muffin and I will be checking out the full moon. And of course, we too will be howling in honor of Rem.

You've brought tears to my eyes this morning Sasha...Gizmo and I will be outside later watching the moon and thinking of you and Remington
I'll bet there were some leaky eyes at your house. That is so sweet and I know you treasure it. It's perfect. I got to enjoy the beautiful moon last night. We remember Remington with you.
That was so sweet of Remington! I'm glad his momma sent it along to you. Reminders are a good thing, even when they make us tear up.
See, he still thinks of you also, we all miss the bid bundle of fur, and each full moon we think of him. Hope you have a big birthday pawty planned for Mom!
What a beautiful present, we are sure you and your mum will treasure it. Thank you for the information about the moon, we miss Remington's moon posts and we all miss him lots.

Oh my, that special gift brought tears to our Mom's eyes - it is so beautiful AND so very special. Remington and his Mom are so very nice.
We saw the big moon last night and we all wooed a big hello to Remington as we know he had to be watching it too.

Hello Sasha,
The moon now has more meaning for us as we think of you and Remington whenever we look up the night sky.

Aw Sasha, that was a wonderful post. Thanks for all the info on the Pink Moon. Remington would be so pleased to know you presented this information.
We still miss him so much. Each full moon we listen for his howl. We will never look at a full moon again without thinking of Rem.
That was so very sweet of Beth to send you the present she found. We know Rem picked it out just for you.

That is so lovely, Miss Sasha. It brings a little bit of waters to my eye even.
Love,
