Lastnite – or this morning if you want to get technical – the 14 year old and I really wanted to see the blood moon. We waited till it was supposed to already be red and high in the sky, but when we got out there nothing. Not a single star. Not a glimmer. Not a hint of the moon through the clouds. Just in case we walked the complex and up the road. Still nothing. Then we hoped in the car and drove around looking for a break in the trees where we could determine the extent of the cloud cover.

But it was fun, and it was nice spending some time doing something different. However I have been very tired today.
If we had actually found the moon this would be a series of pictures me and 14 had taken, but alas I took it from a Google search.

It was cloudy here too and just as the sky went red for a little while, it started raining. I got annoyed and went to bed.

Sounds like we had the same weather.

From one country to the next, apparently so. It happens. Not every full moon is a clear night, which is always a little disappointing to me. One of the last eclipses that was fully visible here, I spent the entire time watching it. It felt like it was so life-changing. I was so in awe of its beauty.
