Today was really cool since we had the solar eclipse. It wasn’t total here but it was really cool to watch things darken. The last time was when I was elementary school. I really noticed the wind pick up and the temperature drop when the sun slid behind the moon.

Today was a first for me. I’ve seen the cicada shells all over from them molting but today we saw one on a tree actually in the process of molting.

Our swamp milkweed lived up to the hopes we had for it and attracted monarch butterflies. The caterpillars formed chrysalises all over, including on our porch.

When I was a kid I had a venus fly trap and thought it was to coolest thing. I was thinking about it and found and bought one again. I’ve been wanting to get one for years now.

I’ve been using NiMH batteries for years. I’ve had a great Maha battery charger that I’ve used most of those years until I spilled water in it today. It’s so rare that you find something that just works anymore I“m not looking forward to finding a new one.

We were on vacation at Cape May and decided to walk to the end of the beach to see the sunset. We ended up being there at the right time, with it right near the Cape May Point Lighthouse.

I upgraded my birthday burpees to burpee pull-ups. I wanted to do something more challenging with it.

Something reminded me of one time when we discovered how cool a magnet manipulated the old CRT screens when we still had them. As kids, we didn’t know it could cause damage, and we may have gotten in a little trouble. Luckily, the TV got degaussed after being off for a while.

Over the past several days, I have been hearing an odd banning sound. We finally discovered the source today when Molly saw a bird repeatedly attacking our windows.

February tornado? Sure. We didn’t get one but the cell had rotation when it went over us. It did drop a tornado over in York county before geting here though
