We watched the eclipse from our back deck, but I'm sure we looked more like aliens than anything since I didn't get us any eclipse glasses beforehand. I just blogged about our experience if you want it firsthand, lol.

We didn't have glasses, just a pin hole and box, then I discovered the crescent shapes on the driveway beneath a tree. In 2024 the eclipse path will go directly over us; if I live to be 84 I'll see it :) I also thought of how great things God has control over.lil red henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15494641068959278096noreply@blogger.com
