Total Solar Eclipse.

The last time the United States saw a total solar eclipse was in 1979. One of my earliest memories I remember is watching that solar eclipse through a pinhole projector. I don’t remember if we were in the pathway of the total eclipse back then or if was just a partial eclipse. But this time around, we were going to see a significant partial eclipse…

And here is today’s total eclipse as seen from my office window at work in downtown Cincinnati. I started recording a video on my iPod Touch around 2 pm. I let the video run for 45 minutes. I used the Hyperlapse app to condense the footage of eclipse to just 3 minutes and 45 seconds. But that was still pretty boring and the changes were still really subtle so then I ran the condensed Hyperlapse video through YouTube’s Creator Studio to condense 45 minutes of eclipse down to just 37 seconds…

The partial eclipse was pretty dang impressive when you condense it to just over 30 seconds. 😀🌞🌘🌚❤️

Corners of our home.

We ran a bunch of errands this afternoon to get our house closer to being ready for my family who will all be visiting in from around the country next weekend. While we were out and about, we found these adorable little ottomans…

We’re so excited to see everyone next weekend! 😀🏡❤️

You can see more corners of our home on our Tumblr.

Seen and noted.

I absolutely love how much greenery there is to be seen all around from atop the hill at the end of our street…

Every time we walk Oscar up the hill, I always marvel at how pretty it is up there…

Looking back over our shoulders, some storm clouds were starting to roll in…

And then it rained for the rest of the evening. 😀🌳☁️❤️

Slow down and grill.

Tonight, we fired up the grill again for some burgers…

And the burgers were delicious. We love our grill. 😀❤️🍔

Look up in the sky.

There were some really big pretty clouds up in the sunny blue skies this evening if you could see them past all the overhead wires. 😀🌤️

Another lazy Sunday.

We had another pretty lazy Sunday. We did a little bit of yard work. But mostly we just laid around and watched a whole bunch movies. And we ordered another amazing NYPD cheese pizza…
