The old expression "once in  a blue moon" refers to a supposedly seldom occurrence, such as last night's blue moon which happens ever two and a half years, or so.  By deduction then "once in a blue moon" would then refer to an event that occurs about every thirty-ish full moon.  This moon event refers to any month where a full moon occurs twice. This often happens in May.  I've posted two photos of this from last night.

The Marsh Marigold in our bog garden is now in full and glorious bloom, one photo attached.

The last photo in this group of four is another edit of last Sunday's Canada Warbler.
