Total Eclipse of the Heart

 

Sunday we were able to watch the eclipse.  It was not a total eclipse of the sun, but it was very impressive nonetheless.  We got to see the moon cross from one side to the other.

Marsha got us some special glasses and we were able to look right at it.  It was very cool  We also rigged up a solar projector by mounting a pair of binoculars to a tripod.

The sun shone through the lens and we were able to focus it onto a white paper.

This week has been very eventful with Lisette and Miles gone to their Shakespeare camp from Monday through Wednesday.  We also had an auto mishap and sadly had to retire our minivan.  We bought a new one on Thursday and unfortunately we again have car payments.  Sigh.
