Good morning to all of you FRONT PORCHERS out there! Do you have plans for a Summer vacation yet?
We will be returning to our timeshare at Lake Geneva over Labor Day weekend. Our family will be able to swim, golf, bike and walk.
We are due to have another boat tour of the lake again.
We fix most of our meals with everyone taking turns.

Got it, bought one camp like that, granite slabs, come along and a winch took care of it. Presently only one oak tree in green or budding out. Probably because it late Spring temp 44 and thatโs with full sun.
I live but wonโt be mobile for awhile, had to take a cross country ride ATV and will be paying for it, for a month or until temps remain in 60โs.Until then itโs medโs and PT.Iโm not 60 anymore.
Attempted capture of Northern lights twice , not happening this time.,hope all are well, Iโll be off line for awhile movement is a nono except PT.

@Frozenoem , oh yes, I remember the ol' pinhole method. I also remember when we lived in Germany, we used a piece of smoked glass. NOT RECOMMENDED! Of course, at that time, we didn't know better. Not like eclipses happened all the time. This was long before the techie times. Wonder we didn't all go blind. Although who knows? Maybe there were residual affects, just hard to distinguish between that and old age. ๐

Thought about using over-exposed 220 films but, I had no problem seeing my iPhone lite thru film. That Bill Nue guy is dangerous.

Hey, Peeps,
@DaveMcK @SummerIsTooHOT @MsStretch @Therapist4u @Frozenoem
Did try to see the eclipse, but we had off and on clouds. I was in and out of the house trying to catch a glimpse. The glasses were good. I do remember in 1991 my husband and I were in Hawaii during a well-hyped total solar eclipse. We were on Kauai, and the best viewing was supposed to be on the big island of Hawaii, but they had clouds, so actually we saw it better than the folks who had planned the big expensive vacay on the big island expressly for the eclipse.
@Frozenoem ...At that time the glasses were not that available and so I had prepared the cardboard pinhole thing and it was fun looking at the crescent patterns on my husband's shirt LOL.
On Monday I enjoyed the 90% of what I could actually see. I wore my 33-year-old souvenir tee shirt from the Hawaiian eclipse.
Put one of the lenses over my phone and took a few photos.
This is the best one...you can kind of see the moon starting to come over the bottom of the sun....
It's kind of blurry but had to enlarge it so I could see it and therefore the blur.

Hi again @catwoman500
I chuckled at โI wore my 33-year-old souvenir tee shirt from the Hawaiian eclipse.โ
I have more OLD clothes than new, some from the 70s...like my 1st tie-dyes, souvenirs from concerts (Jethro Tull, >>>>John Lennon & Paul McCartney, George Harrison & even Ringo>>>>(unfortunately... NOT together, but solo...still it was so wonderful & amazing to see them live!!!) Stones, Animals, Simon/Garfunkel, YES, ELO & ELP! ETC.)
Anyway, I think your โkind of blurryโ eclipse pic is still great, & wanted to ask what kind f lenses did you use? I know very little ...& Iโll defer to Froze, because Iโll bet he will jump in & expound upon more info, using his incredible wealth of knowledge...hope so....LOL!
Also.... thanks for all the kudos!
Hope youโre doing well!
As always... Take care!

@Therapist4u ...Allen,
What I meant by "lens" was that I took a second pair of the cardboard glasses and folded the lens part around my phone camera lens. One of the news stations recommended that so your phone or regular camera wouldn't get screwed up.

@LaDolceVita ...an arbor next to the pergola sounds lovely. Are you going to have something climbing on it? (and I don't mean critters!) LOL. I mean like clematis or climbing roses.

@catwoman500 Trumpet vines have
been planted, just hope they come up. Dogs were busy near the site because of the blood meal placed in the 2 holes.

Hi again @LaDolceVita So...โTrumpet vinesโ
(I had to look up 1st...LOL!)
Trumpet vine is a native North American plant that produces stunning red, orange, or yellow flowers that attract hummingbirds and bees.
And FWIW: I found this by Better Homes & Gardens
How to Plant and Grow Trumpet Vine
https://www.bhg.com/gardening/plant-dictionary/vine/trumpet-vine
I hope that when yours blooms...
BH&G... will want to put >>>> your pics <<<<
in this one's place... as a...
>>>shining example<<<<
of what the best of 'em should look like!! ...HAAAA ๐
Hope youโre doing well!
As always...Stay safe....&...Take care!
