Pittsburgh is not in the path of totality for the eclipse tomorrow afternoon. All Air Bnbs and hotels in the path are booked according to a post I saw. Traffic is expected to be heavy. Our local weather forecasters are hoping for a break in the cloud cover. It will be another twenty years(Aug 23, 2044) before the next total eclipse.

I’m hoping to observe Bob the Feral Cat and see how he behaves.

You can watch the eclipse on television.

What are your plans? Where will you be? How will you protect your eyes?

April Weather

April first it snowed. There’s been sunshine, rain, blue skies, and fog. It’s been hot, it’s been cold. Windy and still. We’re only two weeks into April. Only thing constant in our weather is change.

Rain showers, snow, fog, sun, warmth, chill

Salutation to the Dawn

A friend sent this beautiful video to me in a text.

After I pressed the arrow, the video began to play.

I knew it would come.

I was patient.

Expectant.

You have to wait for it. I thought of past sunrises I’ve seen in person on other beaches. Alone or sometimes with friends or family.

He captured the scene perfectly, with zero camera shake. I thought I’d post it for Silent Sunday but then I remembered in Sixth grade we had to memorize and recite The Salutation to the Dawn
