Eclipse of Sun ~ Lisa's Birthday ~ Deer Turkey Maggie ~ Quiche Lorraine




Moon phase new... 0% full...next full moon will be June 4th.


Good 47ยบ scattered clouds morning.


I am on my laptop and not a happy camper. My keyboard for my desktop died yesterday. After several attempts with new batteries it's gone. The old keyboard from another computer has the wrong plug in for my current one so it's off to Staples this morning to solve the problem.


Today is the solar eclipse.... viewable from right here in Oregon (prime spots are So. Or and No. Cal) .... we will be watching and photographing... from a "eclipse deck par-tay" at Dee and Dale's later today.
This is an informative video...

And Ms. Turkey was sitting in the grass 


(sorry the 'red hot poker is in the way) 









... and of course, Maggie was enjoying the cool grass for a nap....
.... which is exactly what I wanted to do after sitting on the riding lawnmower for 3 1/2 hours! I was ready for the 'home'!!!  A couple more hours to go and all will be mowed. Not today. Maybe tomorrow.



All I know. Hope the clouds go away so we can see the eclipse. Next one will be in 2017. Happy Sunday. Ciao.
