What a glorious time it was in Philly this weekend. The weather was excellent, sunny and a slight breeze, good food and drink enjoyed, copious amounts of drinks that is...and the boys were out in force! It always feels great to go to Philly, where the city feels alive, vibrant and has good energy. And more than ever, it was nice to see tight jeans on men are going NO WHERE! I swear even the straight men were in nice tight jeans. It was certainly a feast on the eyes! Better still I got to have a nice lie in this morning as I had the sense to take the day off. Also today is the solar eclipse here. Despite all the hype, the moon has nothing special planned. It will continue doing what it's done for more than 4 billion years...insensibly circling the Earth, a dead rock at the end of a long gravitational tether. The sun too has nothing special planned, as it will sit where it must sit and burn as it must burn to sustain the flock of planets and moons and asteroids and comets that have orbited it for so long. That's how things go in the clockwork cosmos, and yet once in a while, there's poetry in the machinery. Once in a while, the wheels click in synchrony and the indifferent universe offers up a rare spectacle. Just such a thing will happen today later, as the moon's orbit crosses in front of the sun at the precise spot to eclipse its face and appear to snuff its fires. Or we will just be invaded. I think too all these odd weather and earthly anomalies are due to the fact that maybe Godzilla may be coming back up to the surface! Either way, today I'll be mostly likely in the garden, cleaning and sorting, when it happens. Hope you all enjoy the Solar Eclipse Day!
What a fun and at times, naughty mood board.! Enjoy the solar eclipse. I was in Philadelphia last weekend...I had forgotten how hot the men there are. Philly weekend soon????
ReplyDeleteYou got that right!!!!! I behaved for the most part as Lumbersexual met up with me. And he looked hot as hell in tight jeans that showcased his beautiful ass!!!! And his ginger hair was more ginger then normal. I was chubbed the whole time.
Deletehis finger, looking for the hole, produced the eclipse in his ass.
DeleteSo glad to read you had a good time. I didn't read anything to scandalous in the papers. Yet.
ReplyDeleteThis Mood board, oops moon board is timely. The dog and cats got me a chuckle.
The press was paid well to keep it out girl.
Deletedid we need to see your moon getting felt up for the solar eclipse?
ReplyDeleteYou should have grabbed a pair of glasses.
DeleteThat last photo!!!! Very sexy! Love the syfy feel to the moon board, lol! Let's only hope that your stupid ex president gazes into it again but does it right this time!!!! I'm surprised Trump hasn't tried to sue the sun for election interference. "It was very very unfair. No planet is legally allowed to steal my spotlight. I'll be suing and it will pay."
ReplyDeleteA shame when in the light, he doesn't burn up like one of those Gremlins.
DeleteWhat kind of beer should you drink during the eclipse?
ReplyDeleteWell, Corona, of course!!!! Enjoy the day back at you.
What about Blue Moon?
DeleteIs it sunny where you are? It's sunny where I am. I just hope it's still sunny about one hour and forty-five minutes from now.
ReplyDeleteSo far yes, it is sunny with intermittent clouds. Enjoy the free show!
DeleteAas always, a great mood [moon] board. Just so you know, I submitted a list to the aliens of ALL those who need to be beamed up or vaporized (the aliens choose). Things in the world should be much better tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteYou'll be a international hero!!!!!!!!!!
Delete*bows to Mitchell*
The eclipse isn't going to be visible in the UK... Jx
ReplyDeletePS Nice moon shot at pic #11
He's in there so long, he must be taking inventory. Can we blame him?
DeleteSolar eclipses, beyond astronomical events, symbolize change, community unity, and transformative perspectives for us white witches! Happy Solar Eclipse day. The feeling of them is amazing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!!!! Solar eclipses, moons and moon flowers!!! I have the spirit!
ReplyDeleteLove the Mood Board today!!!!! I took a half day...a bunch of us will be watching from the roof of our building. People need to lighten up and have a nice nature moment, and enjoy it's affects. This is my second one to see.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to catch up with a drink with y'all too!
I was a great time!!!! And your peeps are WAY too many Things!!!!!!!
DeleteHappy Monday and Solar Eclipse Day to you all there. I won't have the treat but have seen three. Eclipse season isn't something that is meant to be controlled, but something to surrender to, meaning to go with the flow of the energy that is coming in for great change and growth. I find it to be a great natural experience with nature and the universe.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you and that closing line. Why not take the time to enjoy it.
DeleteTundra Bunny here...
ReplyDeleteGreat Moon post today -- the morning glories are a nice touch! Loved the photo of the cats and dogs with their 3-D glasses too. I saw my first total solar eclipse back in 1979 and it was a wonderful, surreal experience -- but there was mercifully none of the 24-hour news cycle hype at that time. People, it's an eclipse, not an apocalypse!!
I agree. My second. It is way too much news. It's been going on here for over a week. I swear, Im about to stop watching the news all together. But I do admit...it's cool and a nice feeling to have that feeling with the universe.
DeleteWas it today??? *snickering* Seriously, not too much out happened here in LaLaland, but we did watch the lovely David Muir and his crew on abc cover the eclipse as it unfolded across the country! Your "moon"board was even more spectacular, sweetpea! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI thought the segment with the very cute Wit Johnson was touching with his mother. He makes me MELT anyway, sweet cheeks. I got to see a partial eclipse where we were. I was in the garden when it started to get very dim and whip out my glasses. It was kool.
DeleteI want an Astronaut Bumper Car!
ReplyDeleteA bunch of us bloggers in them would be quite fun wouldn't it?
DeleteI, too, wore my Eclipse Face Mask just in case it was the End Times and I wanted to look good!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe those people weren't using Home Depot boxes! The nerve of them!
ReplyDeleteBack then they were probably True Value!
DeleteI'm glad you had a great weekend, and I hope you got to see the eclipse over there. I had nothing in my corner of the map.
ReplyDeleteWe had a partial one here, but still cool to see with the special glasses. The dim dusk light was rather very pretty and unusual.
DeleteOhhh that gif of then man's hand going into the pants? I'm sweating...
ReplyDeleteAnd we all left the office and went to the lawn to look at the eclipse here! It was not total, mind you, but it was fun to go out in the middle of the day and do nothing but stare like those kitties in your photo!
XOXO
I sweat when I see that too. I love when a guy does that to me. It was fun to be out and see the partial one. I was gardening when it started.
DeleteVery nice experience in upstate New York a break in the clouds made it better. Love that that moon is getting groped! And the spread eagled guy? SEXY!
ReplyDeleteThat picture is tooooooo many things!
DeleteWe thought it was all hype, but at the last minute we grabbed out glasses and went out... it was amazing! We live in the path of totality, and we stayed in the back yard fir the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteI had a friend in the totality zone and he was grumpy about it. But he gave in and said he was glad he did after.
DeleteThat little doggie is darling.
ReplyDeleteHA HA HA! Loved the alien couple and that guy on the bed? HOT picture.
ReplyDeleteI am visiting a friend in Northern Vermont, and it was a great place to view it. We traveled an hour northeast from Killington to get totality. It was completely worth it. Seeing a photo does not do justice to the experience. Venus and Jupiter were quite visible. Shadows took on a surrealist tone. Birds were chirping their "good night John Boy's. It got quite dark and it looked like a sunset was in the east. For two minutes, the moment demanded one's attention.
So glad you enjoyed! That would be a neat place to see it.
DeleteLoved the whole mood and theme this week. The dog singing is to cute. Today was one of the awesome wonders of the Universe that we get to witness from our backyards without having to use a telescope.
ReplyDeleteThe eclipse must have been amazing and what a fab collection of photographs you put together to go along with it.
ReplyDeleteglad you had a nice holiday
Madame.... I'd love to be able to grow some moonflowers.
DeleteWhat an inspired collection. Some real finds there! As for astronomy... the only thing that interests me are black holes. Which, come to think it, have nothing to do with astronomy.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't get beamed up and analy probed on Monday, bummer! There is always next weekend.
ReplyDeleteWot? No daleks?
ReplyDeleteIf you want genetically mechanical mutants Helen look no further that the Trump's.
DeletePlease, the daleks have far more character than the Trumpelstilskins. I can remember my younger brother hiding behind the settee when Doctor Who came on.
DeleteFun! Fun! Fun!
