Mike, you and your sweet wife have such gorgeous children. That little one is getting so big so fast. Thank you for another video. May God continue to bless you, your precious family and your homestead.
I was at work but we were allowed to pop outside a few times to check out the eclipse and I also noticed the calm, the shade, and experienced that same surreal feel. As usual I was amazed with my Creator and thanked Him for His awesomeness.
So glad that the American Bresse eggs arrived there safe and sound. Excited to add your goal of being self-sufficient with these dual purpose meat birds.
Hey Mike...Slim is just being a cat...I'm 68 years old and my entire life and many cats, they have a thing for boxes. He wasn't be naughty, just being a cat...Lol!
We spent the day doing work in the garden until the eclipse started. We were in the totality. was like night time during the peak. It was amazing to see.Then back to chores.
Watched from our front yard ..... in the 100% totality path. It was strange to see it dark in the middle of the day, no wind, temperature drop and all. At totality some mourning doves chirped and a hoot owll called. At the totality there was a bright spot at the bottom of the sun - later I found out that the bright spot was actually a solar flare. Got to watch the eclipse with my mom who recently turned 100 years old. We were thinking of my uncle and great aunt (mom's brother and aunt) who shared April 8th as their birthday. They had shared April 8th as their own heavenly birthdays on Eclipse Day 2024! ❤❤❤
Northeast Texas and we saw a full eclipse. It was dark as night for a few minutes, and everything went eerily silent, especially the birds. Everything just seemed to pause and hold its breath. ❤
Jax. FL. 60% . spent my time planting strawberries, comtemplating the wonders of creation God's timing His seasons praising Him and yes I sounded the shofar at as well. Thanks for sharing.
We watched the eclipse from our yard. My granddaughter did exactly as the boys did; laid right out in the yard. We experienced 94.3% totality. The crickets were chirping away as if it was actually dusk. The temperature dropped as well. All very interesting. LOVE the shofar!
I work at Science Central in Indiana, and it was pretty exciting to watch the eclipse! We had large telescopes to look through, and had outdoor kids crafts for the public to enjoy. Was a fun afternoon, while experiencing the eclipse. A few of us blew shells which sounded a lot like your shofar when the eclipse was at its peak.
Watched here in northeast Texas. Had some clouds, but seen it for the most part. And all the street lights and solar lights came on. A pretty amazing day with the Lord!
I live in an area that had 100% total eclipse but ended up missing it because of a family emergency in another state. My husband told me the streetlights, garage lights and solar lights all came on it got so dark. You did a great job blowing the Shofar. It's not easy! Our God is an awesome God!
Hello Dickson family. Watched here in Mansfield Ohio and we had complete darkness. There was an eeriness in the air for sure. Blessings! Love the Shofar!😊
Hello Dickson family. We watched the eclipse from home. We were not able to travel, so we watched it live on line. It was amazing. Our God is an awesome God!
SE Michigan, we had a clear view and about 97% totality. Streetlights came on. The grandkids and I watched from my patio, it was so amazing. He does set His glory in the sky.
It's amazing how much sense God's (Yahuah's) schedule for the New Year's start makes. The New Year when all things are being made new makes all the ( Only) sense in the world.🤷🏽♀️
Hello beautiful family,I was working out in my garden tilting the soil and talking to my God thanking him in advance for what he has done for me.Stay blessed and thanks for sharing another awesome video ❤
Hi Beautiful people,not much happening on the eclipse living in the interior of Canada,I love the beginning of the sacred calendar though,makes perfect sense to be celebrating at the beginning of Spring.Thank you for sharing your day with us.Keep the Faith ❤️🇨🇦🌺🌷💛🩵🙏
We watched from NW Arkansas and had 100% totality for about 2 1/2 minutes. Such an awesome experience! So glad our families will be able to look back and see these videos! ❤😍🥰
Watched it with our family in Port Clinton Ohio, I felt the Holy Spirit all over me, I stood in aww of our awesome God, All Glory Be To God, it was AMAZING!!
We are in San Antonio TX and in my zip code had 100% totality, but clouds covered it over my house at 98%. It was actually dark as night and not a sound came from any animal. All of the automated solar lights and dusk to dawn timed lights came on, including the pool light. It was an eerie 2 1/2 minutes. I prayed and we marveled at God’s glory. Blessings!
We listened to the sound of the Shofar. Then we read from my "Morning Watch with Robert" Devotional the text from the 7th day of the Old Creation about the first Shabbath and the 7th day of the New Creation of the New Yerushalayiym, about the day in which we will finally enter into His rest. We prayed to be conduits of His Word and His Spirit in order to bring light and life to a dark and dying world.
We had clouds here, in Western NC. But with 75- 80% covering, it got darker, as if it was going ro rain. Quite calming actually! Love your cat, and as other commenters said, he is just being a cat. Never seen a cat that would ignore a box! Especially opened and empty ones😂 Looks like your family had a blessed eclipse day, enjoying God's creations.
my husband and I watched the yard get darker from the back porch. I saw the shadows from the trees show their scallops. We gad 93% totality. God made a great display🌑🌑🌑
I am in Central Kentucky we had a cloudy day but I could still tell a difference it made the clouds look dark like a bad storm was coming then it got real sunny....😊
The clouds were so thick in Slidell, LA, that we couldn't even see the sun. It got a little darker and cooler, but we weren't able to see anything happening with the sun and moon!
thank you for letting me injoy your journey along life i love watching you reminds me of my child hood keep it up please i am 79 and i understand some of the hardship you go thru i love you all for what you are doing
Great video . We watched the eclipse from our back yard. Where we live it was a total eclipses , It was amazing the temp drop . PTL love how your family celebrated .🙌🏼🙌🏼
We had a spectacular total eclipse in central Indiana. It was a once in a lifetime event. It was amazing to see the moon passing between the sun and the earth slowly till the suns rays were totally blocked out. Everything became still and quiet. Just right before it happened the birds had been chirping and singing loudly and fervently then as everything went totally dark the birds stopped their singing, it became eerily cold and the outside lights came on all around the house. The Majesty of God was very present. It reminded me of when Jesus died on the cross and the stone was rolled across the tomb but then 3 days later up from the grave He arose with a mighty triumph over our foes. He arose a victor from the dark domaine and He lives forever with His saints to reign. He Arose. He Arose. Hallelujah Christ arose! Beautiful moment!
Pennsylvania,,,we watched from home ,pretty awesome! We had around 80 % eclipse! I was trimming some of our fruit trees,during that time!! Hubby & I love watching your videos !😊
We watched in our backyard near Kent Ohio. It seemed that the shadows before and after totality were sharper. The chickens crouched down and were afraid to move and when it started to lighten they went about their business. The birds were quiet except for the ones that announce that night is coming.
South Central IL here. We got to about 93% totality. We watched through our glasses while we were putting our garden in. It definitely got about 15 degrees cooler. Birds quit chirping and the doves started cooing like they do at dusk. The sky was bright , but like you said Mike, it looked like there was a filter on everything. Was so cool. When the moon started moving away from the sun, the birds started chirping again. Was really weird but awesome at the same time. God is the ruler of the universe. Amen!
In Virginia I didn't bother because it was less than yours. But in 1978 or 79 there was a total eclipse in Hood River, Oregon and it was awesome. I lived right outside town where all the orchards and farms started so there were lots of farm animals and dogs around. That time of morning it was usually the dogs that made the most noise be cause of all the humans running around starting their day. When the eclipse started it was pretty quiet, no dogs no insects. Of course, all 3 of the west coast states are very quite on bug noises compared to the East Coast. The only way I can sleep with my window open at night is to have a fan going by my head to diffuse the sound of all the bugs out here . Another thing with a full eclipse is the visual distortion that starts at about 50% and continues until probably between 95-98% and the comes back from the 95-98% down to around 50% or so before it goes away again. For me it looked something like a heat wave coming off the pavement in the heat of a summer day except it was everything. I am a wimp when it comes to balance and movement so I had a bit of nausea and a lot of vertigo, hanging onto the ballaster for dear life. But that wasn't the best thing about it. We all got to come in late to work that day partly so we could all watch the eclipse and partly to wait for the tourist to start leaving so we would have parking spaces since so many people had to sleep in their cars since we only had 1 maybe 2 small motels. Hood River had been announced on the news as the best place in the country to see it. The best part of the eclipse was the people. I worked at City Hall and while people were usually polite they weren't always happy to come in to pay parking tickets or didn't believe their water bill should be as high as it was. But on that day I don't think there was a single sullen face. People were happy and if course everyone was asking if you had seen it. If I ever have the opportunity to see a full one again I would definitely want to do so around other people just to bask in the happiness of everyone.
Green 🌿🌱🍀 Ohio USA 🇺🇸 here. We had 100% totality! I loved every minute of the eclipse, but our dogs were having NONE of it!!! I kept them inside to protect their eyes, and they howled and howled once it began to get dark, through totality, and finally calmed down when the sun was out again. It was an awesome experience ❤ Even the birds stopped chirping, the air was still and cold! God is good!!! ☀️ 🌙 🌚 🎉❤
That kitty cat looks exactly like my cat from around 24 years ago, named Boots. He had those double front paws too. He was real tough and liked to fight all the neighbor's cats and to this day, there are still 6 toed barn cats running around at the neighbors house up the road. Boots LIVES!
The other day when you was talking about your year and your finances, and you were obeying the Lord in what you did with your garden was thinking when you told us what you were gonna do That the devil will try to show his self and make it look like you were crazy and that was not God‘s wheel for you to do and all that kind of stuff but when you told us some of the issues for it throughout your year I was thinking well I was right but God is gonna bless you so much for being obedient to him and his word and I can’t wait to see it on this video screen
I am in Rochester NY. We didn't see the eclipse for the clouds. But it got really dark at the appointed time, though. Couple hrs after the eclipse the sun came out. I thought we just missed it. My sister came over to see the eclipse with my daghter and I. I made chicken parm with spaghetti and a salad that turned out tasty. It was a nice day.
We’re in Springfield, Ohio and we had a total eclipse. It was so dark out. I was in the middle of planting some new strawberry plants right in the middle of the eclipse and it got so dark. You couldn’t see what you were doing, but it was really cool and it got super cool too temperature wise.
Here in the UK we could not see a thing we had cloud cover and rain, so thank you for sharing it was interesting watching through your lenses what was happening. The last one I saw was in South Africa many years ago.
We had a quiet day. Our eclipse was more than yours, we lost enough light that it looked like dusk, a ring of the sun around the moon. I was startled when the moon moved away as very suddenly we went from dusk to bright sun. I have been learning about the eclipse being God calling for a time of repentance., so we had been thinking even more about God than usual, & we always think a lot about Him, but we were admiring Him even more that weekend.
Although we could not experience the new moon eclipse visually in Italy, I decided to go outside and get around some people and nature at the peak of it. No birds were chirping. No wind in the trees. It was like a serene yet strange quiet rested on everything and everyone like a soft mantle. People were going about doing their business but quietly it seemed to me. I could definitely feel the eclipse's effects. And let me say that Italians are rarely quiet. When I first moved here, I was in the grocery store and every now and then a woman near me at the shelves would start talking to herself out loud. As I didn't speak the language at that time, I had no idea if she was talking to me or what haha. I have now learned this is what many Italians do. They talk their thoughts out loud, not always of course, but often. Anyway, God bless you Mike and family. And Happy Jewish New Year. And in 10 days we will have Passover. Baruch Hashem Adonai! 🙌 The Lord bless you for blowing the shofar.🌷
The whole day was very cloudy outside than the Eclipse started at 3:15 pm and I just looked out the window not up I didn't have the glasses, plus it was pitch dark out for 4-5 minutes, a car drove by with its head lights on, it was dark out you wouldn't have been able to drive a car on the road, when Eclipse was over the sun came out and it was a beautiful day. I went side worked in my garden. Thanks for sharing. it was nice your family had a great day together, ending with singing. Also I thanked God for this wonderful day and experience he gave to us all.
I had the Pleasure of going to Ennis,Texas. Which is an hour from my town of Burleson. It was a total covering. and it was dark. It was amazing! I know everyone is on a scientific knowledge trip with this, but how I see it is it is a true miracle of God. How could this truly be so spectacular if it was from God.
Did the song birds go quiet? The cow was looking for her supper! There was no eclipse where I live. I agree that spring is the most logical time to have new year, but it would be different in different places as Spring starts at different times so for some people, having new year now would be odd!
Ours was great! We WATCHED FROM OUR FRONT PORCH. iT WAS A FULL ECLIPSE AND WENT PITCH DARK AT 3:00 PM . wILD. The STEREET LIGHTS CAME ON. tWO YOUNG TEENS WHO DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING WERE RUNNING UP THE STREET SCREAMING TO EACH OTHER. "OMG. it is A BAD STORM. Run!! Run!" AND THEY HOOFED IT UP THE STEET SUPER FAST THINKING A GREAT THUNDERSTORM WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. SO FUNNY. too funny.
