NASA: Light for the Ages

Hello Universe!

NASA recently posted a three-dimensional image of the sun that was originally captured in 2007 during a study of how the Earth and Sun interact. Today, June 21st, marks the longest day of the year and the beginning of summer for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere. Sadly the weather here in Winnipeg is overcast and only 18C, though I can't complain as we had amazing weather for the move this weekend.


The move, while hectic was rather successful. Josh and I began the work late Friday night, packing, loading and unloading his stuff until about 4am, finally falling asleep at about 5am. The next day started bright and early at seven when we began our second run to the house. We picked up Michelle along the way, and with my family's assistance, got almost all of her stuff (which was surprise, surprise, composed mostly of yarn). We were completely done unloading the truck by one o'clock in the afternoon - not bad. Then began the arduous task of unpacking. We are still now unpacking and cleaning...and I am sure there will be several more days to go.


It is going to be an adventure for all of us as we attempt to get used to living together. I, however, see it as a very good start to the summer; even if the sun isn't out on this first day of summer.
