Sounds like you had a different kind of howling.

It may be more appropriate for New Mexico Cherokee mountain folk to follow the Appalachian Mountain Eastern Cherokee names due to the similarity in weather.
Is this correct? AUGUST - GALOHNI - END OF THE FRUIT OR DRYING UP MOON

[ more generally August moon a Corn Moon ]

By the way, we have two full moons this coming December. The second one (a Blue Moon) will occur on New Years Eve (Thursday) at 19:15 . That is a "Once in a Blue Moon" event for sure.
We'll be welcoming in a new full moon AND a new year.

Trivia: all full moons in 2010 will occur in the last ten days of the month.

not quite sure what your asking but as far as the weather being the same as north carolina?? i dont think so but i dont know i never been to new mexico yet.

No problem about the moons. songinthewind7 will keep us straight.

I lived in the mountains of North Carolina for a number of years. My work took me all over the Appalachians. I spent a lot of time in Cherokee County, the homeland of the Cherokee. From everything I've learned about Timberon and my limited time there, the weather and seasons are much the same. The Piedmont area toward the coast isn't dry and so hot as the areas around the Sacramentos. The mountain air is more humid in NC generally. The forests have similar type trees. Douglas Fir is more in the higher elevations and they are suffering from aphids there now that the earth is warming up. I spent a lot of time in the woods through those years collecting seeds from all kinds of trees for a retired Forest Service entomologist. He had a seed supply business. He knew where the rare trees were and would send me out at the right time to collect. It was a great part-time job. And, I made very good money. It was sometimes dangerous, especially out in the middle of the mountains by myself climbing rocks, running into poisonous snakes, hairy critters, coon dogs that wanted to tree me, and their owners with guns. Not to mention going to the top of trees (often 80+ feet). I enjoyed it. But, I like the drier mountians better.

Coon dogs that wanted to tree you? Now that's funny.

It's good to talk to you jaada. My wife and I are both part Native American.
She is the Cherokee. I used to do a lot of family research on her family. Of course, I learned a great deal about the Cherokee in the process. She has relatives in the east and in Oklahoma. But, unfortunately, we have no contact with them. While in North Carolina, I had some contact with Cherokee people. All good experiences. The things that are said by the rich and poor alike, about the Cherokee people in that area, is that they are true to their word, and once they call you friend, you have a friend for the rest of your life. I don't know of any higher comments that could be made about anyone.
