"And the sun was (mostly blotted) and day turned into night"
Well...twilight anyway!
Indiana had 90%. Sat outside through it observing.
As it progressed though she obviously became absolutely TRAUMATIZED.
Okay...maybe not.
Anyway...
The beautiful 90 degree sunny day started like this
And zenithed like this
For a short while the World looked like a photo negative and was strangely silent.
And I noticed quite a lot I had never before. The way just before the Zenith the temperature drops quickly...the shadows...and the way the cicadas who NEVER shut up...
Stop.
Just. Like.That.
Then when it has started turning light again...they all start back in a chorus.
Our Partial Eclipse came just on the cusp of a thunderstorm, which was even better, because just after it was over the thunder began- and you could feel the electrical charge in the air.
(...I LOVE the moments just before a storm...)
Of course, by that time, The Ancient Ones would have been rustling up a sacrifice...quick!
One of my "Bobs" in the Frog Bog seemed to be watching the whole show.
Idgy and I caught up just after...and she captured THIS
And we have set a new GOAL together. Her idea. On April 8th,2024 there will be a TOTAL Eclipse in Indiana. The first one in over 800 years.
We are planning to see it together!
Working on what wine and cheese go with Eclipse...lol!
More anon...
