Bad moon rising?

Yesterday morning Raven and I started our walk in the dark. As a result of the change to daylight saving time, the sun isn't coming up as early (by the clock, anyway). As we walked eastward, I did see another orb in the sky. To my amazement, it was the moon!

The moon was at about 1/4--not the big full moon we enjoyed in the days before Easter. But it still looked big, near the horizon. I'm used to seeing the moon coming up in the east at night, and setting in the west sometime later--but this is the first time I remember seeing a moonrise at what should have been daybreak.

The sun did come up after we got home, and I didn't see any more glimpses of the moon after that, but I did have a long day at work and even left some things unfinished at the office. Did the strange moon rising have any effect on my productivity?

I'm not superstitious, so I know the moon didn't really have anything to do with my work day. I do believe in lunar cycles and know the moon has an effect on the earth with tidal waves and such. And it was Mooonday, after all. Lunes in Spanish--like lunar.......

Well, the strange moon day has come and gone, so it's Tuesday--my last weekday off work until after April 15. I've got a million things to do at home so I better get crackin'. But if I'm up early again before sunrise, I'm gonna look and see what the moon's up to.....

Till next time,
