In Vermont we are still buzzing from this event. The total eclipse was so beyond anything I could have imagined. The cold, the darkness, the stars, the return of light. Strangers embracing strangers. Grandchildren running wild in the darkness and screaming that it was the best day of their lives. It happened in my backyard and it was sunny (unheard of!) I see why people chase this experience. It has affected me deeply. 💕💕

Bookwormjillk That‘s great! We were only at about 85% here but I loved that for about a half hour everyone just stopped and observed nature. 3w
Aims42 I saw it from my backyard by myself and I think being with a crowd would make it infinitely more exciting 😁 It was cool, but being with others would‘ve made it even better 3w

squirrelbrain Sounds like a wonderful experience! 3w
kspenmoll It must have been gorgeous in the snow. I stayed home with the cats while F& R went to my brother‘s in VT- they traveled to Shelburne Museum where they had spots for the day. They returned, astonished, dazzled,Awestruck,with this universal & community experience. 3w

Suet624 @Aims42 It's funny because I couldn't tell if my experience would have been even better if I were by myself :) 2w
Suet624 @squirrelbrain It truly was. I'll never forget how it felt, that's for sure. 2w
quietjenn I very much relate, although I saw it in Ohio. Kinda want to become one of those eclipse chasers now. Just phenomenal in so many ways 2w
Reggie Very cool, Sue! 2w
Suet624 @quietjenn My family and I all agreed that we could see why so many people chase the totality of the eclipse. There's nothing like it. 2w
Suet624 @Reggie It's truly a once in a lifetime event. I hope you can experience it sometime. 2w

My cards are going out a little late, but should arrive before the end of the month. Seems apropos considering the sudden return to chilly temps and the occasional snow squall! I hope everyone loves the poems I selected as much as I do!! To me, spring conjures images of all the creatures peeking from their burrows and dens and snug hidey-holes! Happy Spring!! 🌸🌈🌦️🌿🐿️🐇🦡🦔

My #NaturaLitsySwap package arrived today! I‘m looking forward to this swap as I‘ve been really enjoying being outdoor this autumn season. Now that winter is upon us, I‘m really to snuggle down and hibernate!! Nothing like some good reading to help with that!

Black: the history of a color | Michel Pastoureau

Last read of the year because I only have two more hours and the library history is way longer than that. I REALLY liked it, possibly most in Pastoureau's entire series on the colors. Due to black's on-and-off history as counting as a color, this goes a little bit more in depth in historical color ideas. Also some truly bonkers looks into medieval worldviews. Love it.

Pastoureau agrees with me! Two people in the "the 17th century was the WORST century" club!

Black: the history of a color | Michel Pastoureau

"I confess that I have never believed in a universal system of colors independent of time and place and shared by all civilizations. On the contrary, I have always stressed that the problems and stakes related to color are cultural, strictly cultural, and prohibited the historian from disregarding eras and geographical areas."

Good to know that I'm agreeing with an expert.
