A cute little flowering plant I got for Easter which is still cheering up my kitchen. I did know the name of it, but right now it has flown out of my senior mind.
It's really sweet! And this is a lovely photo, Joanne! I like the softness that you created all around it! Fav (Did you manage to see the total solar eclipse in Oakville? I imagine it was cloudy, like here in Toronto (with the eclipse being 99.8%). We did manage to catch the crescent of the sun for two seconds, though.)
@ljmanning Thank you, yes that's it for sure. @365projectorgheatherb I didn't really try, because I hadn't managed to get any of those glasses and at my age I'm already living in fear of my eyesight getting bad, as I get older, since so much of my enjoyment these days depends on my eyes. I did step out for the dark part, just to see how it felt, and I watched the total eclipse on TV (Several times in different places). As soon as the eclipse was over the sky cleared and we had big patches of blue and sunshine .
This is very pretty. Fav. @gardencat@365projectorgheatherb I was wondering if you two were able to watch the eclipse, such a shame it was cloudy but it must have been interesting to experience the dark and the cold.
@susiemc It was cloudy and I didn't have the special glasses I would have needed to look even if it was clear. I did step outside a little before the totality and I experienced the dark. Hard to say about the cold because it was already pretty chilly with a bit of wind and the dark didn't last that long. I did try to see if the squirrels acted different but they looked pretty normal to me. They still kept looking at me as if they were hoping for free nuts. It was surprising to see how fast it got very dark and then bright again. It was interesting but maybe not as exciting as they tried to be making it on all the TV stations.
@susiemc Hi Sue- I did use the eclipse glasses, but because of the cloud cover nothing was visible until right near the end, when I managed to see the thin crescent of the sun. And yes, darkness and cooler temperatures were quite amazing. I happened to be in the parking lot of a hospital at the time (Carolyn had just finished getting a bone scan), so we were clustered with a number of the hospital staff. People were quite elated. It was nice to have people feeling happy together :-)
