Well the sun is still up and it is 94* here....could use some darkness!

All I've ever heard is the old "Once in a blue moon"

Blue moon of the December 2009 lunar eclipse
A blue moon is an additional full moon that appears in a subdivision of a year, either the third of fourth full moon in a season or, a second full moon in a month of the common calendar.

The phrase has nothing to do with the actual color of the moon, although a literal "blue moon" (the moon appearing with a tinge of blue) may occur in certain atmospheric conditions; e.g., when there are volcanic eruptions or when exceptionally large fires leave particles in the atmosphere.

Only happens once in a blue moon means it doesn't happen very often.

Miss MN and I got married the day after a blue moon. It'll be 3 years in a month. Guess it'd be a young wife's tale...
