Last time I overheard somebody mentione red moon. Have you ever heard about it? Red moon seems to indicate HARVEST in English.It confuses me vey much because in my mind a red moon among dark clouds in the evening is scaring and bloody. How could such a terrible scene relates to harvest?

Is red moon really represent harvest in western culture?

By the way I know there is bluemoon which refers to the second full moon in one month.

BTW Do you know any other common phrashes including 'MooN'?

I've seen "Red Moon" used by writer Wilbur Smith (in one of his books set in ancient Egypt) to signify the monthly menstrual period of the human female.

hehe

yeah, that's the time (of the month) I try to keep my mouth shut and just nod.

In your case it would be:

"Yes, Nina."

"I agree, Nina."

"Sure, I'll water the flowers again, Nina."

"Tofu pie with Brussels sprouts sounds great, Nina."

"What? You want to watch HGTV? Well... yes, Nina."

...so on and so forth.

hehe

I still remember once upon a time when I was still in junior high school, my mathematics teacher cried out-maybe I should call the sound wailing- in the corridor after she failed to draw our attention to calss several times. You know many of us weren't interested in mathematics at all and such similar visions of students making noises in her class had happened many times but only that time she had such a violent response.At that time I didn't understand why she behaved so scaring. It was the red moon that worked, I believe now. Shocked

My uncle who is a farmer told me that red moon indicated there would be a rainstorm in the next day.
I googled the net and didn't find any information that red moon was related to harvest. Maybe i misheard it.

hehehehehe I think in ancient time people across the world accumulated life experience from years of observation on nature.
Most old sayings are very accurate.
Eg in china we say 八月十五云遮月,正月十五雪打灯which literally means A cloudy night on the Mid-Autaum Festival predicts a snowy day on the Latern Festival> Although it isn't 100% accurate,it came true one or two years in my memories.
