Get ready for The Super Blood Wolf Moon Eclipse
For those interested, there will be a full eclipse of the moon this Sunday night. Most of us will be able to see it if you don't fall asleep before 11 p.m. More info is found on the Old Farmer's Almanac and EarthSky.
This from EarthSky
Central Time
Partial umbral eclipse begins: 9:34 p.m. (January 20, 2019)
Total lunar eclipse begins: 10:41 p.m. (January 20, 2019)
Greatest eclipse: 11:12 p.m. (January 20, 2019)

If you're not able to witness the eclipse, at least look at the rising of the full moon, it should be be spectacular. The forecast for Sunday night is clear and chilly.

Work Day - February 9, 2019
Susan Wallar, Zone Coordinator for Zone 1, will be hosting a workday February 9th from 9-11 AM. The focus will be clearing the gardens near the trailer in preparation for the plant sale. If a lot of people show up there will be other activities available as well. Hand tools are good for many of the tasks so please bring those with you if you have them. The work will mostly involve cutting back the perennials. It's a great way to get a jump start on those service hours. Feel free to reach out to Susan at swallar@gmail.com with any questions.
