Oct 25 2020 - Halloween Countdown with Celebrity Costumes

What can surpass the Elton John fun outfit yesterday? The answer is Hollywood celebrity costumes. I say "sort of" as some of these are creepy and some are hysterically funny.

I took a look through 2018 and found Kim Kardashian and Jonathan Cheban as - who else? Sonny and Cher. Isn't he perfect?

This one makes me curious about how the whole costume works: Heidi Klum as Jessica Rabbit.

These pictures are from 2018, you can see the 2019 highlights at US News HERE. And it will only be a week before we see this year's highlights.

Our story today is a day with Baxter and Millie. You can see Baxter in Millie's basket, then the two of them about to go outside, Millie wrestling with the Japanese Forest Grass, and then having a rest back on the sofa. There were leaves to chase, hostas to sit on (squash), and circles to run around in.

Apr 3 2020 - That Moon Magic

The moon this morning was pink. And it was big. It is a Super Pink Moon event on April 7th. The preview I saw this morning tells me it is worth going out to see when it is fully out. The name comes from pink wildflowers - creeping phlox - that bloom in early spring. Other names for an April full moon include Sprouting Grass, Egg, and Fish moon, all names that supposedly evoke thoughts of early spring - fish?. This year’s super pink moon is also a paschal moon because of its closeness to Easter, which is April 12. The supermoon we had in March is called a Worm Moon.

I thought you might enjoy this from the article, written March 30th. The author seems to have missed the current situation's scope: 'staying at home' isn't 'for those' but is 'for all':

"For those staying at home, April will bring a number of other moon- and stargazing events to see outside at night. This Friday, Venus will be visible near a cluster of stars called the Pleiades or the Seven Sisters, according to Alan MacRobert at Sky & Telescope. And as Brian Lada writes for AccuWeather, the Lyrids meteor shower peaks on April 22 and 23."

What a time to buy a telescope online and get started. There are 13 full moons, 2 supermoons, and a Halloween blue moon. In no time, you will be referring to the supermoon by its astronomical name: “perigee-syzygy.”

Here are some Supermoon jokes:

Supermoon cancelled as moon distances itself from earth

The Supermoon was ok. But according to Rotten Tomatoes, still is better than Supermoon vs Batmoon.

What do you call it when Clark Kent shows someone his butt?
Supermoon

Don't forget, tonight the moon will be visible from earth. The last time this happened was last night.

These popped up on Pinterest. I wonder how they are related to the supermoon.
