About 5:30 am, I woke up and couldn't believe how bright it was in our bedroom, then I remembered that April 7 was the night of the "Super Pink Moon." This was the time that the moon would be the closest to us in Utah for the whole year.
According to the internet, the full moon in April is called the Pink moon because it is often occurs near the same time as an early pink wildflowers starts to bloom.

A friend posted on Facebook her gorgeous photo of the moon. Fun to be sharing the moon with my friend from junior high even though we are miles apart.

All week the moon has been exceptional bright and caused "moon shadows" on the earth as it moved through the skies. It made me so grateful for the moon. Our night skies would be boring and barren without its ever changing appearance. Plus it makes waves, counts down the months, etc!
We live in an amazing world.
