Mount Redoubt

Our local volcano has been busy. There have been a series of eruptions beginning last Sunday. Saturday night, we got our first taste of the ash cloud that is created each eruption. Made the snow a dirty gray color. Not too much but enough to know we don't want anymore. Much worse in some places like Anchorage. Also very disruptive on the airplanes. Have a friend who went for a weekend trip to Ruth Glacier, the base camp area for climbers of Mt McKinley. Due to the eruptions, her departure was delayed...by 4 days. Luckily her group was well supplied with food.

Neighbors geese are acting up. After spending the entire winter together the flock has split into separate camps. Each side consists of a goose and a gander. Lucky me, one side has decided to live under my deck. Nothing like being hissed at every time you step outside.

I'll have to post the pictures of my white van, when it rained dirt here in South Texas last year.

(Actually, it was from the fires in Mexico that they burn every year about this time.)

It's interesting reading on this blog.
