Full Moon

Tonight a total lunar eclipse will be visible over most of Europe and North America. It will start around 10:00 EST and continue until just before 11. We don't get another total eclipse unti llate 2010.

It should be nice and clear in our neck of the woods. If you can, get out and see it.

Great Balls of Fire

We didn't even make it out to the garden today, and there's no telling what's been going on out there. It has been really warm lately (50°F today), so maybe tomorrow we can report that our fall vegetables have made a resurgence.

But for now, instead of reading about or chickens or our compost or whatever it is that you come here to read about, run outside in a few hours and check out the Geminids meteor shower. It happens every year at this time, but this year is supposed to be a real show.
