The stars opposite the moon looked extra sharp and bright, closer to the moon they were blanked out. Lots of shooting stars!

And the coyotes zipped up their lips - night before they were singing their heads off - gotta be the usual hot and cold though, not uncommon. Kitties love a full moon, they just figured it set like always and went to sleep.

Anything curious at your place? (I've heard about those folks drawn outside to sleep under the moonlight, but I don't know...)

Nope. Nothing weird here

I wanted to see it. set the alarm but it was raining. I've seen some weird stuff happen times like this. we had a neighbor who would sit out on her lawn on a 5 gallon bucket and quack like a duck. that's not a word of a lie either? ~Georgia.

Outside dogs howled a bit when it started. Betty (inside dog) and I went into the sunroom and watched it. She whined a little.

Nette, did you see red in the moon? It was so high, this morning the weatherman said that's why it only darkened for us - no great color like when it's closer to the horizon.

Georgia, This had me laughing and trying to envision the scenario. I wonder what the quacking was about? Now that's funny!

I woke up just in time to see it this morning. A very dark reddish-brown. I was glad the weather here was warm and clear. It was awesome to look at.
The one back in April was around 2:30ish our time and pretty chilly, so I was happy I could just walk out in my jammies and watch this morning (we live in the boonies, nowhere near a neighbor).

I got up, but I did not see the moon. Darns woods were in the way. I did see a very pretty sunrise.

The cows were a little more difficult at milking than usual. It was a pretty cool event this morning. I wondered where the moon went. The night before when I put the chickens away, I could probably have read a book outside because the moon was so bright. I looked forward to having it this morning because my flashlight just went kaputz and I could use the extra light. I woke up, walked out, saw the bright stars and thought, "Where's the moon??...oh, that's why they call it a blood red moon...". The eclipse was fun to watch as I milked.

I was driving home from working nights. Saw the dark moon, then the road turned 180 degrees and I was on my way home. Now repeat after me, "STAY AWAKE, STAY AWAKE" I made it home OK!

It was all Beautiful......Especially the Moon going to Pink and then to a deep Red/Orange......And the Fading out and going completely Dark. We watch it the whole while, out the big windows and from our Outdoor Deck. Simply Beautiful!

 

[handymama]

I wanted very much to see it, and it poured the rain. Sigh.

 

[manygoatsnmore]

It clouded up here just as the eclipse was starting...didn't get to see a darn thing.

 

[arabian knight]

I got up and drove to a spot where I could park and watch the moon for a spell. But nothing happened that was weird or unusual. Went back home and crawled back in bed. LOL

 

[idigbeets]

Nothing special here other than I could see very very well at 5am.

 

[itsb]

I about doo-dooed my pants :bored:

 

[DamnearaFarm]

Yup, HandyMama hit it on the head...rainy and heavy cloud cover afterwards. Didn't even see it.

 

[wally]

Lets see, it was dark and I was on the front porch, took a leak and went back to bed.
