- NEW VIDEO: Poppy and Henry Playing
I'm just guessing but I think that the squirrel was actually looking for water. [G2:15077] We have been suffering from serious drought in North Carolina; weeks went past without even a drop of rain. So, one day as I sat down at the dinner table and looked out of the window I spotted this squirrel (in my belief) looking for water around the plants. I have never seen him since but after he ran away, I found an old container, filled it with water and set it outside just in case he came back. But thankfully it has been raining for the past two days continuously so hopefully now the animals are no longer thirsty.
You better watch out. You better not pout. Perseus is coming to town. Well, sort of. They, in this case NASA, say there's going to be one great light show the next few nights starting tonight, Sunday, August 12th. We're told to starting watching the eastern sky between 9-10pm to see meteor debris from the Comet Swift-Tuttle, and if you know what the constellation Perseus looks like, you can see him, too. NASA's got more info–it's their job. My job is to exhort you, brethern, to turn off the TV and watch the heavens declare the glory of God (Psalm 19).
[G2:14306 class=left] We awoke yesterday to find this slithering serpent in our backyard. After a little bit of research, we found that our little friend is called Elaphe obsoleta, or Black Snake. He constricts his prey and is known for his excellent climbing abilities. Of course, being on a seminary campus, a biblical joke had to be at hand: "If he offers you any fruit, don't take it!" I was little more worried about him taking one of the neighbor kids deep into the forest. [G2:14312 class=right]We stood outside for about 15 minutes watching Elaphe snake his way along the edge of the houses here and, then, as if horizontal wasn't good enough anymore, he took to climbing straight up the side of McDowell.
The Latin name of this black snake proves true: "the worn out snake." You'd be tired too, after scaling the side of McDowell.
What happens when the Earth gets between the Sun and Moon? It's a total lunar eclipse of the Moon!
If you're in the eastern United States like Emily and I, you want to look east just after sunset between the hours of 7 and 8 tonight Saturday, March 3, 2007.
If you're in the UK, turn your eyes toward heaven at approximately 11:58pm tonight.
