Saturday morning I was up early for no reason at all really, or so I thought. I went down to the kitchen and perked a pot of coffee and waited for light to come until it dawned on me the lunar eclipse would be happening in just a few minutes.
There was a lot of cloud cover so I wasn’t sure how much I would be able to see.
And then the sky opened up, so there I sat in my pajamas on our sidewalk taking pictures. In 22 degree weather.
Then the moon started dropping behind our grove so I ran into the house, threw on my bibs and jacket and ran out to our gravel road, camera and tripod in hand.
And I was able to watch in awe.
This was the first of my Birthday presents. 
Finally the moon dropped behind the power lines and I was starting to freeze, so I headed back home.
