I finally turned the snow app off. Hopefully, we’ve seen the last of this year’s snow.
It’s officially spring, though we’re almost two weeks in or a month depending on which measure you use – astronomical or meteorological. Either way you look it is spring with Easter Sunday this weekend.
I am certain It won’t snow where we are. It’s spring break and my wife and I are in the Florida Keys for a week. We are staying where we’ve spent every spring break since 2016, with the lone exception of 2020 when we were locked in at the lake.
Our rental offers a front row seat for sunrises. Every morning, I wake early so I don’t miss one. This morning, I set off to watch the sunrise from the eastern approach to the Bahia Honda Bridge. I miscalculated, the old bridge obscured the view of the sun breaking the horizon, but I waited patiently and was rewarded with the image below.
Last night when we returned from dinner, we gazed at the moon which had risen over the Atlantic. Over dinner we talked about today’s scheduled moon launch when NASA will launch Artemis II for the first manned spaceflight to the moon since December 1972. And, of course we shared our childhood memories of launches and splash downs.
I wondered if people will be watching the launch like we were some fifty years ago.
It is Wednesday morning and April Fools. I’ve been fooled more than once, and I’ve done my share of foolin’ but not today. Today is going to be an amazing day, so I’d better jump up, jump in, and seize the day. Making the Days Count, one day at a time, under the sun, the moon, and the stars.
How is the sun or the moon lighting your path today?
