Readers, Welcome to my blog (formerly Birds, Blooms, Books, etc). I'm entering a new decade taking on the challenge of moving from Maryland after living there 46 years and learning about my new home here in New England in the Live Free or Die state - New Hampshire. Join me as a write this new chapter of my life.

A Blue Sky Day for ...

 THE ECLIPSE!


Looking southwest.


Looking southeast.

We got back from a trip to Buffalo last evening.  Even though Buffalo is supposed to have full totality, we had to get home for other commitments.  On our drive there (we left Wednesday) and back, all the electronic road signs said "Arrive Early, Stay late, Eclipse Monday, April 8th".  It's a big deal for NY State.

Here in New Hampshire we should have 93% totality.  

I plan to take photos of the action using my colander.  We have eclipse glasses to use too but won't attempt any photos directly of the eclipse.

As you may have noticed in my photos we got more snow!  We missed that 12" dump by going to Buffalo where we had rain.  Fortunately warm weather followed the storm and most of it has disappeared.

What's happening where you are?
