Good morning. Happy Eclipse Day.

I don't think we will see any of it here. It's going to be very cloudy today.

I don't think we will see any of it here. It's going to be very cloudy today.

Same here. We're supposed to get 82% but probably will just get dark for a bit, then back to normal.

Just planted the 4 O'clocks indoors from seeds tonight. Would have done it yesterday but read the packet which said to nick or soak them first.

We're going to try plant a few buckets around the property as I read Japanese beetles like them and they'll eat on them and die.

We shall see. They are supposedly toxic to chickens but so is a lot of things around here so even though silkies aren't the smartest chicken, I think they'll stay away.

four o clocks are very pretty!

The eclipse was 36% here. We were able to see it using a viewer. It was fun to see!

Morning Old Folks.
We may say a bit from inside but cloudy off and on rain.

It was bright and sunny here, right up until an hour before totality. Then cleared up within half an hour. Somebody has a sense of humor.

I was out playing in the garden and never noticed a thing. Clouds came over just right to protect the chickens from getting confused.

No sign here of a any change at all.
Bit of drizzle started as I came back in the house
from cleaning the coop.

We may get some rain starting around 1pm tomorrow. Believe it when I feel it.

Goodnight old folks
