The Total Solar Eclipse of 2024

So.. we decided to travel a few hours yesterday, to be in a place where we could see the Total Solar Eclipse in all its Totality Glory.  

Even though we were going to experience 97% if we had just stayed put, we thought that it would be a real and true shame NOT to travel a little to get to where the totality was for an experience of a lifetime.

We drove till we were well within the band of totality and managed to find a really good spot to stop on the State Highway, where they were working on expanding the road. 

The guys were also chillin' in the shade, waiting on the Eclipse and we got their "OK" to park where we did.

There was a really pretty patch of bluebonnets and other wildflowers where we stopped.

The eerie calmness and darkness during the Moments of Totality.. It lasted a little more than 3 minutes, and we were just in awe.

I didn't manage to get a good photo with my phone, but it was A Truly Magical  Experience all three of us would never forget. 

RV Maintenance and Repair

There are some things that need to be done to the RV, and we had Christen out this weekend to help "heal" the water pipes. YAY!

This Fortnight's Flowers

These usually last for a couple of weeks.  Every few days I change the water and snip the bottom off the stalk a little bit.

My favorite flower - Daisy, and a color I absolutely adore - Yellow.

Mornings

I have so many things from the get go in the mornings, and I don't really want to get up too much earlier and not get enough sleep.

So, I haven't really been walking much in the mornings, if at all. 

When I do, it is still a sweet time, watching the sun come up and all.  And noticing how much more Northerly the sun is now rising as compared to the Southerliness during Winter Time.
