The rains have come

 September has been a fairly dry month and now the rains have come and it looks like quite a bit by the end of the week. The ground is very dry and can benefit from all that rain for sure. 

Actually I did not do any work on the Siderfin book yesterday. I had other items I wanted to look at and the concentration was there. 

Today the main floor will be cleaned and then tomorrow the basement will conclude my effort for the week. But today I shall work away on my projects. 

How to display the charting that remains was in my thoughts yesterday. I am well into the 1800s with the charting and the book itself listed people born up to nearly 1920. The amount of information is small in the charts but I have been including my notes in my genealogy reporting program. I could for this last set of charts simply have the charts that can then be compared with the book already published. That does sound like a good system. I can make sure everything is there up to the mid 1800s which is now  at the moment and then simply refer to the rest of the charts as the 12th generation. I will contemplate that. 

I will start today with the newsletters and complete them. They are both partially written and just need their completion. I also need to work on the Blake Newsletter due on the 1st of October. 

Breakfast first and then Latin and then cleaning. The day moves onward. I am looking forward to what is called our second moon for a short period of time. It will be interesting as an asteroid will approach Earth close enough to be trapped by our gravity. Probably not enough to get out the big telescope but I will use the binoculars. As a child we saw through binoculars mostly; it wasn't until we bought our first large telescope (Edward and I) that I was really close up to a telescope on a regular basis. We bought that not long after we married when I was working. Even in those days telescopes were not cheap! That one went to RASC in case some new member might find it useful since we have the newer one for our use and definitely can not use two at once.
