Lunar Lunacy

Well these crappy pictures won't quite tell the tale, but it WAS a memorable night out under the stars last night, witnessing the lunar eclipse and blood moon.

I should have broken out the "good" camera rather than the point-and-shoot, but of course hindsight is 20/20....except for Jane's because she wears glasses and closes one eye a lot and likely needs her prescription checked at this point. But I digress.

As a bonus, I caught a wee raccoon sneaking down from the roof of the garage under cover of darkness.....that is, until the camera flash turned night into day!

There's nothing I can say, total eclipse of the....moon

Peek-a-Boo Moon

Blood Moon

Busted! 

(applies equally to the raccoon, the antenna, and half the windows)

Hey, Labour Day!

It's been a relatively quiet summer, fun-wise, largely due to a busy summer, work-wise.

So we make our own fun locally, when we can. A few scenic drives along Lake Erie for fresh produce, free outdoor concerts at Two Creeks, fun darts at The Legion in Wheatley, and some camping action in our own backyard - and suddenly it's Labour Day Weekend already!

Fantasy football drafts and tomato wagons rolling down the highway should have been a dead giveaway, but summer draws to a close. This is often the time of year we pack up and head out for some camping on the east coast, or northern Ontario. Unfortunately this year colliding court dates will keep me close to home for the foreseeable future.

Good thing we love autumn....our favourite season!
