The Eclipse

August 21. There was so much hype about the Great American Eclipse. Starting it's trek across the US in Oregon and ending up in Charleston.   We got our glasses early and got t shirts from the Chamber of Commerce that glowed in the dark.  We planned a little party for the neighbors!

 Since the eclipse was the day before my birthday,  a cake was in order.   It was a layer of chocolate cake, raspberry filling and topped with a white cake



Mark and Pebbles making a pin hole camera to watch the eclipse.

Out in the front yard, wondering if the sky was going to clear. We could see the very start of the eclipse.

How we ended up watching the eclipse

The weather was not being our friend

Lon hoping it clears up.

The rain stopped for the dark period of the eclipse. We all did go outside, we saw the street lights come on, and as it started getting light again, the rain started coming back. We all went back inside to enjoy the cake.

At least the sunset was pretty
