Skywatch Friday and a scientific announcement

 

From my trip in Montreat NC the other day...some pretty clouds above a residence.

Sharing with Skywatch Friday.

Hope you are not fooled by anyone on April Fools Day!

One of the little bridges over Flat Creek in the playground...same sky! Does this look familiar maybe?

A closed building beside the stream.

And finally looking at Lake Susan, which is behind the dam which controls the flow of the stream. Even though there had been heavy rains the day before, the stream was not flooded at the playground.

And Science Says...

NASA has confirmed that we know of more than 5,000 worlds outside of our solar system. It's a groundbreaking moment for the fairly young field of exoplanet science -- and experts estimate that there are likely billions of exoplanets waiting to be found.

Interesting article!

I made a deal with myself...?myself, I said, I promise to let you sit at the computer for an hour, then you must tend to the laundry." I agreed and enjoyed 2 ricecakes and a diet Dr. Pepper, while reading blogs, FB and emails from all over the world.  A train engine is beeping it's horn at the intersection down the hill, and it may be the same one I saw at the laundromat which is also perched above the track...just an engine, perhaps ready to do some switching work.

Now where's that Quote for Today?
