[insert poetic description here]

Watching the eclipse - can see it from my bedroom window, a shadow nibbling at the bright. Interesting contrast, as the solstice candle burns in one window, and I look out the other... If the candle gutters at the full eclipse, I may be slightly freaked out...

Over in Twitter, the phrase "eclipse-over" has been used to describe the many very tired people staggering to work tomorrow morning. Am thankful I don't have to be anywhere until 11.

EtA: and total eclipse, a faint, dark orange glow heavy in the sky. Going to wait for a sliver of light to return, and then to bed (and the candle did NOT gutter, huzzah!).

the passage of time is a terrifying thing, really.

Going through my change bowl, found a 1945 penny.

Pausing just to think about how many hands this coin has passed through, and what it's 'seen'....




(also a few from the 1950's, but 1945 stopped me cold)
