The Dark Day

By Colton Walsh, "it all started in 1982 just kidding it started 4/8/2024 at about 10:00 when someone took a piece of the sun. then they took more and more and soon enough the whole moon was gone and it looked like night. then the animals started to go to sleep then they went crazy when the sun came back. after about an hour it was all over. At the darkest point my dad did fireworks and my grand parents were there and my cousin parker and my friend Thomas."

We really did have a great time skipping school at work for Totality at the Farm. Terri, Mandy, and Parker joined us on Monday. DD, Big John, Kristie, and Thomas came Sunday evening. Jack Ranger had 3 friends come with us - Cooper Glennon, and Ben & Steve Bratton. Ben and Steve's Mom actually came and picked them up at the farm around lunch on Monday so they could get back in town for soccer tryouts - so they didn't even see the eclipse! But they had wanted to come just for fun, and they all definitely had a great time. 

The Learning Gardens hosted an Eclipse field trip with a bus load of kids from Marsh Middle School. They set up different learning stations and we all watched the eclipse together by the new Nature Center. It was really fun to see it with friends, family, and the kids from the school. Really fun energy.

The Eclipse was so much cooler than I expected. We had a great view and I loved that it was more than just the darkness, which was also cool. We could see the ring of fire around the sun and the light was so strange. I loved it! 5 stars, would recommend
