The other night was a lunar eclipse. Living in the country now, we were hoping for a great view of these kinds of events. It was a little overcast but we were NOT disappointed!
Check this out! I took about two dozen photos hoping I'd at least get a good one. I think this is a pretty good one, ha. I told 2nd Man I might just need a telescope one of these days...you know, Christmas, birthday...
Just sayin'
Then yesterday afternoon, we had a HUGE pop up thunderstorm come right over us (the star is our house). It dropped almost an inch of rain. The ground was so dry it absorbed most of it but of course, still some standing water. Not sure I will be able to mow today and that WAS the plan. I may edge later this evening and then hope it's dry tomorrow.
Hope your weekend is off to a great start!
I tried to watch it, but the sky would not cooperate.
ReplyDeleteWe have been having smoke coming from the west (Palo Pinto County); west of Fort Worth so our skies are rather hazy and it's been 45 days straight now with no ran and nothing in the forecast; only more triple digit temperatures.
ReplyDeleteMany counties are under a NO BURN BAN. We hit 100 deg. temperature again today.
You got a very good picture of the lunar eclipse. Those unobstructed country views of the night sky are great for these pictures.
ReplyDeleteLucky you that you got a decent amount of rain. Nothing here and it's sooo dry and scorching hot.
