April’s Full Moon Walk made possible by technology

April 27, 2021

Distance no longer a factor

April full pink super moon 2021

April’s full pink super moon occurred on a school night and with the hour distance between me and my granddaughter, we had to compromise for our Walk When the Moon is Full adventure.

Enter FaceTime and a few screenshots.

Same moon, two different locations

We spoke about seeing the same moon even though we’re far apart. I walked on our road and she walked around her yard. I showed her the barge on the river and she showed me her tree.

I can see the moon too!

She figured out how to turn the device around to show the moon over her shoulder and I figured out how to take a screen shot without my finger over the lens.

Keep the fingers out of the way Mimi

We talked about East and West, why the April moon is called a pink one, and I may have used the words ‘perigee’ and super moon.

I don’t know if any of it sunk in and it’s okay if it didn’t. As long as she felt the connection and the love, that’s all that matters.


Somewhere out there

beneath the pale moonlight,

 

someone’s thinking of me

and loving me tonight.

 

And even though I know how

very far apart we are,

 

it helps to think we might be

wishing on the same bright star.

Song by James Ingram & Linda Ronstadt
