Well\u2026 That was amazing!\u2026 Today was my first total solar eclipse. Jonesville was right in the path of totality and we had over three minutes of total darkness. It was amazing.. …… absolutely amazing. ! With all the hype about becoming eclipse, I was wondering if it would feel anticlimactic\u2026 It did not in the least.<\/p>\n

It was really special having Max back here, so Max Diane and I sat in the back.\u2026 And I know this might sound weird\u2026 But we had Sam with us\u2026 (his ashes)  and several samstones. Picture above is from our friend Marie.. with he crest sun shining through a colander.

I set up my telescope with a solar filter and camera to try and record the actual image of the sun.. it sort of worked.. what’s below are some pictures of my phone as it tracks the sun’s occlusion . Max is going  to help me put it together as a movie (I hope \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We watched the sun slowly get more bites taken out.. as it did, the light changed.. it was cool and freaky ! ..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One fun thing is that we could see many images of the cresant sun as it shined through all the wholes on our fire pit (which I’d made of an old dryer drum).. Look at all those little suns ! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then it happened.. the sun slowly just disappeared !.. Everything got quiet… there was like a sunrise glow all around the horizon, birds stopped speaking . ..bugs appeared !  

The whole sun turned into just a ring of fire !!!!! It was magical !!!.. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the sun started to peak back out.. as soon as it did.. it was instantly brighter !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then things slowly got back to normal-ish.. I say normal-ish because all of a sudden all the roads got packed.. in a few minutes it was back to back traffic on the interstate, and on route 2.. a few minutes later, a ton of traffic started going down Duxbury rd. I checked google maps and sure enough.. the mapping app was counting people down the 10 mile dirt road..  just after mud season.. Diane  even saw a semi truck go down there !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rest of the afternoon was peaceful.. in the evening a bunch of our\/maxs friends came over for a post eclipse dinner..  Jaq and her friend were in town,. As were Alex and Chris. .. Super nice way to finish  this day . <\/p>\n\n\n\n
