For weeks we have been waiting for this amazing experience . . . the solar eclipse! I purchased solar glasses on eBay weeks ago only to discover that they were not approved ones late last night. :( Thankfully our new neighbor had extra "real" glasses and let us have them. As the welder repaired the neighbor's mailbox that Preston broke (long story) the sun slowly became covered by the moon. It was truly breathtaking to watch and experience first hand. Although we didn't get the full eclipse here, it was still amazing to feel the drop in temperature and see the sun almost fully covered during the middle of the day.
Our neighbor also brought out a colander to show us this cook trick . . . instead of the normal circles from the sun, the little holes projected crescents onto the street. Crazy!!! It was a fun way to spend a summer Monday with all of the neighbors.
