August 21st-Eclipse Day--short

This afternoon I decided to sit in a parking lot instead of going into work and wait for the partial eclipse to be over rather than miss it entirely.   Other parts of the country experienced it in totality, but not here.  This part of the country will have its time in about 7 years.  So here, with the slightly overcast sky, things just seemed momentarily grey.  Pretty uneventful.  I didn't have any special glasses or card board with a hole.  My interest was how dark a partial would get.  The answer being not dark at all.  Had I not know there was an eclipse, it would have gone by unnoticed.  Perhaps if the sky had been cloudless, the slight grey that accompanied the event would have been more noticeable.  Friends posted pictures on Facebook. I think the one with the eclipse viewed through a colander with the holes in a spiral shape was my favorite.

Here is a link with eclipse information.

The rest of my day was filled with work and bad news.  In the morning is where my happy for today is.  We went to where Gideon will be attending Kindergarten soon and had a little tour.  He was SO excited.  The school loos great too.  The office lady that we met and talked with us got four hugs from Gideon as we were leaving.  That is how excited he was.

No pictures today, but here is a clip from today's song.
