Happy Eclipse Day, ev'rybuddy!
Our momma had the chance to take the day off special.
Momma never got any special eclipse glasses (or a welding helmet, tee hee) so this morning we helped her make a viewing box.
"I dunno, Ditto, I think she needs a longer box..."
Thankfully, for her sake at least, she listened to us and made a second box that was longer so her image of the sun would be bigger. Still...
So that is what she saw. The top row is the start, the middle four pictures on my left and right are the peak (supposedly we got around 76% where we are) and the bottom row is the end.
"It's getting dark out there!"
It did get kinda dark in the house. For all we knew it was just clouds. We don't get what the fuss was about.
"ho hum!"
"ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz"
My human missed the eclipse, which was only partial here anyway. We'll have to wait until 2024! We should both still be here!
ReplyDeleteNice job helping your mom, Ditto and Sharpie. That viewing box worked out super well. Our dad had the special glasses, and said it was pretty cool. Hugs! - Gracie and Zoe
ReplyDeleteWe slept through it...just another day on the island as far as we're concerned.
ReplyDeleteWe thought the eclipse was interesting. I am going to post a video on Thursday showing it getting really dark!
ReplyDeleteCam and I found it to be pretty ho-hum, too, but Mom was all geeked about it. We had cloud cover for a lot of the time.

Good job helping your mom build the viewing box :-) We got partial eclipse. I was driving during it, but still I could see the day got darker!
ReplyDeleteWe only got kind of twilight-y here, the kitties didn't even notice!
