Despite our best efforts, Maude didn't survive!! We miss her and know she is in heaven making all the creatures there smile.
Finally we've had a little rain. Two inches of the wet stuff fell earlier this week. We managed to not be in the hail path so avoided the baseball size hail stones!!! The hay pastures and the big pasture were fertilized a few days prior to the storms so we may benefit big time.
Our niece and her husband visited from Baltimore to view the eclipse. It was pretty cloudy as the moon progressed toward totality. Then about two or three minutes before totality, the sky opened up and we had a wonderful view of the total eclipse (over two minutes long) with its ring of fire and diamond. Also during totality, a star was in view. Come to find out it wasn't a star but a comet!!! A minute or two after totality the clouds returned. The "darkness" was interesting tho all we noticed was a flock of birds fly over looking for a roust. I've seen several partial eclipses but this was my first total eclipse. The whole experience was very very cool!!!!
