Caledonia, Ontario, Canada
We had a clear sky tonight and were able to spot
the new moon. It took us a long time to locate the new moon, the sun's glow had
to greatly diminish before we saw it. Similar to last year's first new moon, we
heard the robin's singing their hearts out. (Note, there were no robins to be
found at last month's new moon. Robins are a big sign of spring for us.) Happy
Holy Days, The Shields Family
Covington, Louisiana
Very hazy, however we saw it beginning at 1950

MISSISSIPPI BY TWO WITNESSES JAMES H., AND JOEY D. VERY FAINT BUT VISIBLE.
Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, "This month shall
be to you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year to
you. 'Yahweh bless you, and keep you. Yahweh make his face to shine on you, And
be gracious to you. Yahweh lift up his face toward you, And give you peace.' "So
they shall put my name on the children of (KOL) Y'srael; and I will bless them
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!

Hi Jim & Laura, It was cloudy in Holts Summit,
Missouri, so we were unable to see the New Moon. Our nephew, Michael Perry, did
see the New Moon in Omaha, Nebraska. Happy New Year! Dennis & Donna Bitterman

The sky was clear but rather hazy near the
horizon on April 6. The sun set about 7:45 PM. Neither I, nor John Bensinger
watching from Wheeling, WV, were able to see the crescent having waited until
about 8:15 PM when the light of the sun was quite faint and darkness was
overhead. We will watch again on Monday, April 7. KK
