{Not clear, not close, very blurry. Best I could do.}Native American symbolic full moon names were established by eastern and northern tribes, such as the Algonquin and the Iroquois Confederacy. These remarkable people assigned attributes to each of the full moons according to the seasonal characteristics.

The Full Moon of July was the Thunder Moon. Since this month is notorious for big booms of thunder and storms.

Be afraid! ,-) The little pink 'Old' Rose is blooming again. You'll be *subjected* to another week of pics! :-)

And look, more of the blue Hydrangea out in the front perennial garden. I just can't get enough of it.
Especially since its blooms are soooo big.
Someone wondered what Hydrangeas *like*... E. says acid. He uses Miracid. It really makes them happpppy.
*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
But... Sadness... Look what happened to the first tomato! On the bottom! Eeeek!
E. calls it "Blossom End Rot" or some such. Tomato is now gone. We keep an eye on the other 2 on another plant. And the smaller of the three plants ~ an Heirloom Tomato of some sort, now has blossoms! Hope springs eternal. :-)
*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
Plus, something is eating at my Impatient! Grrrr... Guess it's "survival of the fittest." "Dog eat dog." "Bug eat pretty flowers and tasty tomatoes." And leaves too!
*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
But these *guys* seem to be doing ok.

Someone asked another question... How to post pics 'small,' but have them be click-able and show in a bigger size? ~~~*~~~ When I download my pics into my iPhoto thing, I make my pics, sized as 800 on the largest 'side.' Sorry, but that's the best I can tell you, since I'm not techy. But thus, they can show as big as a screen, on my computer. ~~~*~~~ And I figure, they do the same, on other computers. Maybe a tiny bit bigger, at times, but that's just the top or bottom edge. I hope. ~~~*~~~ Then when I go to add pics to my post {by clicking on the little blue box, at the top of the Blogger-being-composed-post}, I see 3 sizes from which to choose. If I want my pics to be b-i-g, like I used to, I click on the Large box. Now I click on the Small box. ~~~*~~~ For the "click on pic & it enlarges," bet there is some setting you have to have correctly done, but I looked in Settings and I can't find it. :-( Someone else who knows this stuff, please HELP! :-)
*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
I feel I rattle on and rattle on, and don't make a lot of sense. Maybe someone else can do all this, in a nice concise comment, and *save me*! :-)
*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
I also want to thank all who leave comments here. At any time. At every time. At random times. Or consistently. Thank you for them all. I appreciate all of them. I am still struggling with the issue of not being able to return each and every comment. I do try a lot. But I also know, I fall down on the total job of comment returns. And... Like I've said a *zillion* times, I struggle with this.
*~~~*~~~*
I so want to not struggle with it. I so want this. Because it takes away some of the fun of blogging. And fun is the name of the game, for my kind of blogging. I'm not selling anything and I'm not doing any kind of an instructional blog, where people consistently come, to find IDEAS or the like. So... fun is the name of the game. And for me to dampen my fun, is pretty silly. :-(
*~~~*~~~*
We only 'go this way once,' and I'm older and should really be paying attention to only doing what I really want and enjoy and what makes me feel good. {After small duties, of course. Even now, I'm not without some duties.} But basically, humans are wired to seek pleasure and avoid pain. I've had both, in my life. And "now is later." So, if not now, when?<--That's my mantra! :-) But moaning and groaning about how I blog, is not following my mantra. Grrrr me... *~~~*~~~*
Hey, {the last time I did this whine} did I say that I'd never do it again? -heh- Guess I fouled up hu? >,-)))))))

Please, if you didn't see the beautiful Full July Thunder Moon last night... Please look tonight. And even tomorrow night. 'Twill be very full, for a bit, still. Very beautiful.

And if you're lucky, you'll feel *moongazy*... :-)

Nope, too late for that {*moongazy*}, with this Full Moon. Has to be right when it rises to fullness. But, there is always another Full Moon! Next month! :-)
