Solar Eclipse – August 21, 2017.  I don’t want to complain, but I was not impressed.    Someone could have mentioned that here in West Central Florida the solar eclipse would very closely resemble a slightly cloudy day.

 

The only way we knew the eclipse was happening was when our solar lamppost light turned on.  Seriously.

 

I have to admit that the solar eclipse viewer that we made out of a cereal box was really cool.  Have a look…

 

We got to spend time with Seth, making a solar eclipse viewer. He didn’t have to go to school because the school officials couldn’t guarantee that they could keep the kids from looking at the sun. [!]

So, I guess it’s okay if I wasn’t impressed. After all, no one was trying to impress me.   Anyway, I plan to be around for the next solar eclipse in 2055.  It’s bound to be impressive.

Happy Homesteading,

T.
