Total lunar eclipse 6am

I woke up 30 minutes earlier than normal to see the total lunar eclipse this morning.  It was only viewable for people on the west coast and I think they said it was the last one viewable from the west coast in our lifetime. 

I stumbled over Loo and out the door, down the dark hallway and opened the door at the end.  On the other side of the door was our cat Murrs who was 'murring' loudly and trying to slip through the open door, but I closed the door before she could slip in and I stepped over her while she walked circles around my feet to get to the front door. 

It looked cold and dark outside.  It was then that I realized I forgot my shoes.  I thought about going back to get shoes and missing the total lunar eclipse, the last one in my lifetime.  I walked outside bare foot. 

The brick walkway was icy and it took me a bit of time to scan the horizon to find the moon.  I heard owls hooting in the palm trees in front of the house and when I approached to see the moon an owl leapt off the top of the tree and glided into the field behind our house.  Jerry Bruckheimer's field. 

And there, for all to see was the moon, half of which was red and clearly visible in the early morning sky.  Ideally I would have viewed it for some time to watch it change, but my feet were frozen and I was cold because I was wearing my PJs.  I walked back inside and decided to make a fire and coffee.  Now I have my coffee on my left, the fire at my back and my kitty on my right. 

This is a good way to start a Saturday morning before work.
