Each month has a different moon name. The blood moon was referring to Tuesday’s eclipse and the color it turned.

The clay level is the coolest. You can put that right on a potter’s wheel and go to town creating a work of art.

My wife baked Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies today. Haven’t had them in years.

Me: “How come you don’t make these more often?”
Wife: “Because you eat them all in like a couple days.”
Me: “What are you talking about? I do not.”

Later today after sneaking my eighth cookie.

Me: “She may be right.”
