Leap Second
Blankets and Pillows
Opal and Agathe are planning a midnight adventure!!! The other Hittys didn’t care to hear them clattering around at that hour, so they are hauling their supplies out to the tent in the back yard…blankets, pillows,
Clock
and a clock…
Waiting for the Moment

Quimper Hittys 
A great adventure as well, and one definitely worth camping out and staying up for! A timely reminder…I wonder who will be game enough to stay up in Rose Cottage for this? I know the computer person in this house is a little worried at what it might do to his servers…
They were fascinated by the thought of a leap second, and hope all the computers manage to keep processing.
Opal and Agathe keep us on our toes in regards to what’s going on in the world…in their most adventuresome ways.
Who would have thought a little leap second could be so exciting!
No doubt they’ll also enjoy Venus and Jupiter in the western sky? There is just so much to embrace!
They have been observing the planetary conjunction, but the moon is a bit distracting at the moment!
Oh my goodness I thought only my husband kept track of this kind of thing! Your Hitty are a constant wonder to us. Fun fun photos.
The Quimper Hittys have a fascination with unusual facts and events…they think if people looked for reasons to celebrate, there would be more delight in the world.
Did they Leap UP in joyful celebration of this extra bonus second? What an exciting time for them!
I think in fact they were propping their eyelids open with toothpicks, and then fell into bed!
