It was a cloudy day but enough holes happened that we saw most of the eclipse, except for the totality. There was a thick gray cloud over the sun for that 4 minutes, darn it!
However, that didn't matter much because we were enveloped in darkness. The birds completely stopped singing. There was no traffic at all on the busy street that we live near. We saw Venus come out.
It was so fast and so surreal. We are in the midst of an amazing creation, complete with mysteries like eclipses that bring us alive to the universe.
Waiting for the eclipse ... feeling like we're in the 1950s with 3-D glasses
The Totality — it really was like night fell in just a flash.

| The view of our house as we looked in from the back yard — it was really dark in there. |

| We like a festive feel in the back yard so we have Christmas lights a la a Mexican restaurant. They're on a light sensitive timer — and came on during the totality. It was so dark that we couldn't see the fence across the back yard. |
