April! It's been another full-throttle month. Whew! Let's see what
I liked best...
It kicked off with April Fools Day. My local librarian celebrated the holiday with a sign that said "Please excuse the mess while I reorganize the collection by color!" Indeed, the first shelf is red, orange, green, white, blue and black. If you flipped the paper over it said "April Fools!"
The eclipse was pretty cool - no fooling! We chose not to drive up to Vermont to see the total eclipse, but instead hung out on our front steps to witness the 95% coverage. We played with the colander, marveled at the strange shadows and the drop in temperature (about 10℉).
We wished there had been more leaves on the tree to better see the funny
crescent shadows the sun produced. The pine trees gave us a bit of
little taste of it. And I had eclipse glasses, so we could look at the
sun. It reminded me of the Cheshire Cat as the slice of the sun got
bigger (a grin without a cat).
