ABC didn’t sleep very well last night and I was helping out.
We looked together at the moonlight casting shadows on the snow in the backyard. We are experiencing a super moon, meaning that the moon is at its closest to the earth in its orbit, so the moon appears a bit larger.
By the time ABC went to sleep, the lunar eclipse was about halfway to totality. It was too cold for B and me to go out in the yard to observe it, but we could see it from our large, south-facing kitchen windows.
Even though it was called the “super blood wolf moon eclipse”, in our area the eclipsed moon seemed more greenish-white than red, probably due to our atmospheric conditions.
During totality, ABC woke up, so I was in her room for quite a while. By the time I could look out the kitchen windows again, the bright light of the moon was back, casting moonshadows from our trees on the snow.
For the record, I did eventually get some sleep myself…

It’s tough looking after a sick child. Glad you got some rest. 🙂

ABC wasn’t sick. She is just a 19-month-old who doesn’t know when to quit! Well, actually, she may also still have bit of jet lag hanging around.
I do hope that Alex is continuing to improve and that you get a chance to catch up on some missed sleep yourself.

Ah, yes. The tired toddler. Very trying.
Thanks, Joanne. 🙂 He’s pretty much back to himself now.

That’s good to hear! Two hospital stays is two too many.
