I stayed up last night to see the moon turn blood orange-red at the peak of its full shadow (umbra) time - which was a little after midnight (12:11 AM) in my time zone. I also used my binoculars to see more detail, which was nice. It was cool to see the nearby stars appear to get brighter as the moon went more into shadow, and then some of those stars "disappeared" as the moon got brighter again. I had a great view of it out my front window, so I didn't go out to watch it because the "skeeters" here are already abundant and hungry!!
Lani, it's hard to say goodbye. Glad Jane has the great help from great friends and neighbors. Hope your new washer will be installed soon!
Tig, pretty tulips!
Peep, Yay for Reggae growing into a bigger bucket... more room for more toys!
Clynn, yep, Baby Bro is shaping up to be a real character. But his sister already qualifies as a bonafide character, so I'm sure she is an influence. I found out this morning that at his recent 9-month check-up, he was 57th percentile in weight (a surprise!) and 80th in height! Both of his parents are tall. Yum on the Fish On The Hook food truck plan for Friday! I hope Kelsey will be okay to slide pizza to Saturday this week. You're going to have good eats this weekend!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAXIE!
