POLSON — April’s full moon is on April 16, the day before Easter Sunday. It has been named the “Pink Moon.” It represents change, growth and renewal (think spring). It is also the time to get rid of things rather than save things. Garage sales come to mind. My wife says it’s time to clean out my sheds. We’ll see. Maybe I will find treasures that I forgot about years ago. I’m sure they are still there. It’s fun to say, “Oh, that’s where I left that!”
