Eclipse At 3:10 AM

I was aware enough there was a lunar eclipse happening early this morning that I checked the time, got out of bed, threw on some clothes and stumbled into the backyard to look at the moon. It was well to the west and pretty red, though the bottom of it had a bright edge. This made me wonder if it was actually at totality or maybe I had gotten the time wrong and missed it already. I didn’t review the timing of it the night before. Pica woke up and had a brief look outside at the moon too.

I did have the time right, and stayed outside another 15 minutes, enjoying the now-darkened sky and the red moon. Back to bed then only to get up at 6:30 for the early morning Tuesday grocery shopping. I dozed later in the morning with Winston the cat by my side. It was a good morning.
