I've looked penumbra up before and I'm still not sure I totally understand it.

I'm going to try to remember what penumbra means - I can picture it!

I had to look up a few definitions. Most of the definitions were about Astronomy. I'm getting a handle on this word, I think. I've worked with it at another time. Not an easy word for me either. Thanks for stopping by.
