Blue Moon

I had watched TV drama "Moonlighting" when I was a junior high school student.
Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd played the leading part. In this story, they manage a private detective agency. The name of agency is "Blue Moon" and in the drama, Cybill sang "Blue Moon" that was a jazz standard song. The drama was dubbed in Japanese, so I didn't know her real voice. When I listened to her song, I realized she has husky and
deep voice. I thought she was so nice.

I learned an idiom "once in a blue moon" in the class yesterday. It means very rarely, once in a very long time. We can see the moon looks blue because of dusts in the air but we have rarely seen such a sight. And my electric dictionary says "Blue Moon" is also the second full moon in a month. That's why "Blue Moon" is a metaphor of a thing rarely seen.

I went a shoes shop to pick my pair of low-heeled pumps up yesterday. I got it repaired. I really like the pumps made of deep blue leather. I was so glad because their heels could be renewed at a low cost.
Blue is the color of my peace of mind.
