Todays Buzz: Eclipse

United States
August 21, 2017 9:47am CST
Happy Monday everyone! Today is the big eclipse day and seems to be the big buzz of conversation. Television is all hyped up about it and some of our local news weathermen have traveled cross country to report on it first-hand. Are you in line to see the eclipse today? I doubt my area of Pennsylvania will see much but it should be interesting to see how dark it gets this afternoon. Nothing exciting happening here for this Monday morning. Just the usual laundry, bed making, and tidying up and then at some point I need to run the vacuum and dust. My house seems to get extra dusty with the air conditioning on even though we change the filters regularly. I'm thinking of making a list of things I want to do for my fall cleaning and it should be interesting to see how many of those things I accomplish. I"m already thinking Fall and cooler weather which should bring a burst of energy to get the house more organized. For now, all those things are rattling around in my head and I've mentally redecorated and organized about a thousand times. Hope everyone is having a good day!

I don't get hyped, but do enjoy these events. Must be my interest in science. I was very pleased to catch the 68% solar eclipse here today.

LOL--I haven't done one post about the eclipse. It's too overcast here even if I had the fancy glasses to see it.

I searched for something streaming the eclipse, looks like it's going to be NASA. I wonder if it's worth watching it on my computer, we'll see. Tomorrow is going to be busier, grocery shopping being on top of the list, so today is about relax.

I had one good thing done yesterday, I mowed the lawn, cleaned the garden from all withered flowers and brought the green garbage up to the road for collection.
