Peace! Kindness rules. Compassion rocks. I love my family, gardening with roses and perennials, music, cats, dogs, and all animals.

Form your own opinions.
LEARN THINGS.

@raffic.bsky.social have I told you that my daughter and son-in-law and four and five-year-old grandkids drove from Indiana to New Jersey to see you this last year? Back in the 80s we saw you in concert twice in Indianapolis. Thank you for giving our family and many families so much. We love you!!!

It's today! #Mars and the full #WolfMoon meet. Watch them pair up - and from some parts of the world, see the moon go in front of Mars. Read about it and see videos here: https://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/visible-planets-tonight-mars-jupiter-venus-saturn-mercury/

Tonight there will be a Blue Supermoon at 9:35 ET

The moon will appear about 8% larger than a normal full moon and 15% brighter than a normal full moon.

The next one won't be until January 2037. Keep any eye out tonight!
