Half Moon in the Blue Sky

I never tire of seeing the moon...

so curious, how did we come to be on this planet with this moon that is so beloved to so many, and  whose image appears to us to be the same size as the sun...

and how did yellow and purple come to be colors for Easter...

in my mind's eye I can see the yellow and purple crocuses coming up in the greening lawns...
