When your own house is in the path of totality for the first Solar Eclipse to travel across the country from coast to coast in ninety-nine years, the best place to travel to may be your own home. When we realized that, we tweaked our Summer Ramble plans so that we would be here today. It not only gives us the chance to view the total eclipse but we can throw a party at the same time. Family and friends gathered on our deck to share snacks, drinks, snd protective eyewear. No one had fancy camera equipment, telescopes or binoculars, just eclipse glasses, an index card with a hole in it, and a colandar. We just enjoyed watching as the moon’s shadow traveled across the sun. It was awesome watching the corona appear and experiencing darkness at midday.
Winter Magic in Medina
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
