Well in West TN it wasn’t totality but about 98-99%. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to take the day off to head back to Arkansas where I used to live to be in totality. Near totality was pretty cool though. It got dusky and eerie at the same time and the temperature definitely dropped. Hope I’m still alive in 20 years when the next total solar will cut through Arkansas.

Happy April! Anyone having an Eclipse party Monday? Wear having one at my work. Moonpies, Starbursts, Milky Way bars and Sun Chips. lol.

Finally got some actual spring temps down here. Winter and summer have been fighting the last few weeks with cold days then not days then back to cold. Apparently it’s too much to ask for nice mild spring temps anymore. LOL. Tulips are at their peak and my azaleas have a few blooms on them. My knockout roses are growing back after being trimmed back to the ground earlier. All this to say the pollen is making me cranky and miserable.

Happy March everyone! For the first time in a bit it came in like a lamb here instead of a lion, although it’s too warm for me to be early March. As per usual we skip right over highs in the 60’s and go straight to the upper 70’s and even an 80 scattered here and there. You would think I would be used to it by now but dang it I’m not. LOL

Oh goodness. I am so very sorry to hear this!

Is Happy February! Two weeks ago we had record breaking brutal cold and tomorrow it will be 70. lol. Weather in the south is something else.

Day 5 of snow and now ice on the ground. Day 4 of not leaving the house. I’m trying my best not to go stir crazy but this cold weather can go so the snow and ice will melt. The South isn’t built for this for sure!

I have a snow day today! We got hit hard (for the South) with snow Sunday and Monday. Ended up with 5 inches of snow and it is brutally cold. Single digit temps at night and not above 20 for a high the last 2 days. Crazy for Memphis and way too cold for me. We might get some ice Thursday on top of the snow. Ugh.

Happy New Year everyone! @stationchief I hope your surgeries fixes all your issues and that rehab goes well! Keep us updated when you are able! @Reinholt1 I’m so sorry to hear that our resident mom was so ill! Many prayers for you both while she continues to recover!!!

Stay safe out there tonight! Me, I’ll be in bed when the ball drops. I can’t stay up that late anymore.

As always a HUGE thank you to @Bopeep for hosting our Secret Santa fun. It is always one of the best highlights of the holiday season for me.

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday yesterday.

I blow right by that minimum for our Secret Santa gift too! It makes me so happy to participate.

Well Happy Birthday to me! I love waiting until my birthday to open my SS gift! Thank you so much to my Secret Santa for everything!!! I absolutely love everything but my nerdy scientist self freakin adores the science socks! I went to the periodontist yesterday for my post-op visit and he cleared me to eat as normal so Hershey Hugs and Reese’s Pieces here I come!

That’s awesome!
