Good morning from Port Hope Ontario Canada. It is 7:02 am EDT and 1'C (34'F) going up to 15'C (59'F). Of course, today there is full sunshine. Most people in Ontario had cloudy skies and even rain for the eclipse yesterday.
Yesterday morning early, mum and DD got into a frustrated discussion. Mum wouldn't say where she wanted to go, she kept making faces at what we were saying but wouldn't speak up. DD ended up yelling at her "what do you want!". Well mum wanted the clouds to go away over her selected spot to watch the eclipse. Well we couldn't do anything about that. DD and I ended up packing a cooler and getting in the car and driving east toward the edge of the clouds. 5 hours later we ended up in Lacolle Quebec, 5 km from the New York State border. There were groups of people set up in every parking lot and in the parks waiting for the eclipse. After trying out a park in the area and driving around a bit, we finally set up our chairs in a farmer's field. There were cleared fields all around us, snow topped mountains to the south and the east and a clear view almost to the horizon, just a few trees. Not only did I see a full eclipse for 3 minutes and 18 seconds, we had a sun dog ring around the sun caused by wispy clouds. I could hear wooping from the farms at total eclipse. The temperature dropped about 10 degrees and the wind PICKED UP not died out like the weather guys had forecast.
After an hour we packed up and headed back home. It was totally worth the experience. The ride home was not bad after we cleared the St Lawrence river. There were a lot of people from Montreal who were trying to get back across the river at the same time. Then near Cobourg we ended up in bumper to bumper traffic at 9:30 pm. I know the back roads so we got off the highway and made out way home.
I had set up my trail camera to take time lapse but that didn't work because the trail camera adjusts for the amount of daylight so all my pictures look the same until the camera switches to night mode for 43 seconds. wump wump My cell phone did even worse. It couldn't handle the full eclipse and just gave me a ball of light without any details.
That is all my news for yesterday. I took some knitting but never pulled it out once between driving and sitting for the eclipse (which was over way too quickly)/

I have had a bit of a busy two days. Yesterday we went to the clinic so I could get a steroid injection in my good shoulder. Grabbed a fish sandwich at a chip shop. Then I Wasn't feeling the greatest so we came home without going to pick out our new flooring and tile.
Today I had a fasting blood test. I scheduled it for noon as he had a doctors appointment at 12:30. His appointment took an hour and I was famished and had a caffeine headache. Quickly got a coffee and a nice meal out at George Webb. By then he was needing to rest so did not get to the flooring place today.. Tomorrow for sure we will pick out the flooring and tile. 🤞🏻 Some weeks I do not leave the house and this week there are so many things and places I need/want to go to. It must be spring.
How are you doing Lisa. Hope the treatments are tolerable.🌹🥰
