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?
The sun, the moon and the stars – you have it all. So glad you are enjoying the Keys and making the most of it, as always! Enjoy your break, Clay!
Thanks Wynne, it is good to get away and refresh. this morning I woke up and went back to sleep bed and missed the sunrise, but it rose anyway. It’s been windy along the beach, but we are at the beach! Take care and enjoy the easter weekend.
We watched the launch on TV. It would have been cool to be there. Enjoy your break!
We did too, but on an iPad at a beach bar waiting to hear a band from Clarskton, Michigan – the Rick Lieder Band – they are good and down here performing until it warms up in Michigan. A favorite of my wife’s! Take care and enjoy the spring warm up when it arrives!
What fabulous photos Clay! Sadly, the full moon is a non-event here tonight as it’s cloudy and cold. But never mind. Last month’s was exceptionally bright and clear and the memory is still feeding everyone’s imagination. Enjoy your well-deserved break!
Thank you Margaret – it’s easy to have good photos when you have an interesting subject. We saw the moon rise high in the sky yesterday evening and we watched the moon launch, we were at a beach bar to see a band my wife likes and we were early to get a space to see , hear, and relax. it was exciting to watch launch with a large group of people and we scanned the northeastern skies to see if we could catch a glimpse of Artemis at lifted into the sky, but we couldn’t or it was so faint we didn’t see it. Nonetheless, it was an exciting evening. It has been restful and find myself with two full days remaining. Stay well, peace.
Marvellous. Enjoy the rest of your break.
