Anyone else wondering what is new with that volcano in Iceland.  The one that I, along with most others cannot pronounce.  "Eyjafjallajökull" Yeah, I can't even hope to spell that either.  Yikes!  With a name like that, no wonder it went off.  This wild one went off in April of 2010.  It's highest ash plume was 33,000feet high on it's first day on April 18th, ...

Ya know, snow is so beautiful. It brings about a softness to this world. It also ushers in a pleasant quietness. We always know when the rain has turned into a snow. The harsher sound of the rain drops has hushed and there is a quiet calm that falls about the house. It is also a bit on the cold side. It's when we find ourselves adjusting the temperature gauge.
