near totality
the dim sun felt autumnal
not for long

when the moon moves
farther from the Earth
no more totality

90% complete here. I knew it would get cooler, but I was surprised when Alabama summer went from nearly unbearable to pleasantly warm. If only that could continue for several more months! Punched holes in a cardboard box and looked at all of the bright crescents.

Eclipse day
the sun disappears
perhaps forever
pray harder!

after three weeks of rain
to see a bit of sun on the 21st
just in time for most of it disappear?
