The sun was enormous on Monday morning, as I typed this column. Itlooked like the start of a beautiful day. Wasn’t the weekend great? We got rain on Saturday and Sunday was an almost perfect day. A little less wind would’ve been better, but hey this is Kansas!
At least it wasn’t blowing as hard Sunday as what it did on Saturday. The winds and gusts were horrible! Punky was not liking it one bit. Poor little girl, being totally blind now, she gets nervous over all kinds of noises. Luckily I found some stuff that works great to calm her.
What is the path of the eclipse called?
While outside with Punky Sunday, I noticed the Star of David flowers have bloomed. They are a late. I thought they bloomed between Palm and Easter Sundays. Oh well, happy to see them whenever they bloom.
Hello to all in area nursing and assisted living facilities. Hello also to all in area hospitals and rehab centers.
We offer our sympathy to the families of Diane Pettyjohn and Charles Bockover. We offer our sympathy to all others who lost loved ones this past week. May they all rest in peace.
A lot of people have mowed their yards already this year. I haven’t yet. I try to wait until all the early bloomers have bloomed. Just trying to do my part in helping the honeybees, butterflies and other pollinators.
I think the yards look pretty right now with the henbit, dandelions, Star of David, bluebells, tulips, jonquils and all the other little flowers. Very colorful, mixed with all the shades of green and the light brown from last year’s leaves.
Answer: The path of totality. Did you see it? People traveled from far and wide to get to an area that was in this path. They are quite a sight to see. It's easy to imagine how ancient peoples thought the world was coming to an end!
I took pictures of an eclipse many years ago thru the lens of a welding helmet. The pictures were not real clear, but it was neat to see anyway.
We attended a 70th birthday party Sunday for Leslie Sherman at Getty’s Bar. It was a great day and good time. The man of the hour, Leslie, was having a good time; as did everyone there.
