Things are starting out quietly here this morning. I actually got some good rest last night, so I’m feeling almost human this morning. My husband is sleeping in.
We plan to run errands today, getting the mail we didn’t yesterday, plus hitting a couple of places for supplies.

We will only be going down to the bottom of the driveway tomorrow for mail and to leave our trash for pickup, since our small town expects viewers to arrive for viewing the eclipse. The schools will be closed, too. We have traffic jams twice a day (around schools opening and letting out – hence, the bypass that is being constructed) so – even with the schools closed – if three people come to see the eclipse, we’ll have a mess on our hands… :0)
Our skies are due to be ‘partly cloudy’ which probably means we won’t be able to see much at all here. I’ll be out there with my glasses to see whatever I can see. I have a pair for my husband, too, but he tends to scoff at things such as this, so I don’t know if he’ll join me or not.
Yesterday was a complete wash-out since I had gotten very little sleep. I did a bit in the veggie planters and some cooking, but did not exercise, except to get into and out of my recliner. :0) I’ll make up for that today, doing my yoga and the elliptical.
Have a wonderful Sunday wherever you are today.
I viewed an eclipse in the UK in the 1990s by looking at its reflection in my car window as I had no viewing goggles. You can also see its in reflection water. And if you make a small hole in card or paper you can see multiple crescent moon shaped patterns on the surface it’s projected onto. DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN!

Thanks for the warning, Christine. I’ve never seen one. I went to City Hall when they first started offering the special glasses, so I have a set for myself and one for my husband. I really hope we’re not too cloudy tomorrow to see anything. That would be disappointing.

Good luck, they don’t happen often. I also like Lunar eclipses where the shadow of earth falls on the moon. Fun fact if the Earth was flat there could be no one on the night side of our planet to see the moon during an eclipse because we would have had to get underneath!
