Watching the World Go By. Literally.
Tonight, Aaron came home while I was cleaning the bathtub and coaxed me upstairs to the roof...to watch the lunar eclipse.
Leaning back against the peak of our bungalow roof, we felt pretty calm and peaceful. It helped that our bungalow roof is the classic low pitched roof.

It was really lovely. It was also extremely romantic, lying on the roof above the treetops and watching the line of the earth's shadow move across the face of the moon. We saw a falling star and made a wish. And reminisced about how we couldn't have done this on our condo roof. (Not allowed up there.)
And then, from around the corner of the dormer, a familiar face...
Meow!
"DAVE! What are you doing up on the roof??!!"
Bad kitty. Funny kitty. Dave wasn't too confident up there. Aaron had to take him back inside.
Finally, the ex-teacher in me ran to pull my in-laws out onto their porch to see the celestial show. A family down the street with school age children also got a knock on the door from me. Everyone "ooohhh"d and "ahhh"'d at the pretty eclipse.
Yes, yes, I am the crazy lady of our small block. I would take that over being "the grumpy lady" any day :)

So, you live on the same block as your husband's parents? Thats funny because we live two houses up the road from my parents. I played with the kids that lived in our house when I was growing up. The house just happened to go on the market at the same time we decided to start looking to buy. I remember the first weekend we spent driving around looking at houses, we stopped at my parent house for something first and learned that the house we eventually bought was for sale. We spent the rest of the weekend driving around to other houses but talking about what we could do with the Clark Creek house. Some things are meant to be.
Didn't see the eclipse - was too busy in the studio making tiles. :)
