Today was a fun day, wasn’t it? Although the eclipse was less than full here in western New York, the event created a festive atmosphere in the dog days of August. I snapped an over the shoulder shot just as the action was starting — don’t worry, I took the picture without looking, so my vision is safe.

The college campus where I work is about to explode with life and I can’t wait. Here’s a pic from this morning — the proverbial calm before the storm.
The first group of Freshmen arrive tomorrow. They don’t know it, but they are going to love it here.
The community garden is bursting with goodies. This weekend we enjoyed our first home-grown ear of corn. Delicious!
Butter+Salt+Pepper+Fresh Sweet Corn.
And, finally, the floor in my family room has been overtaken by a rainbow. I’m so close to being finished, but alas, I’ve run out of white scraps. Off to the fabric store sometime this week to bring this scrappy Drops of Rainbow quilt top to completion.
