First ash fall out--Redoubt

Here is what the first ash cloud looked like coming our way. The blue was beautiful color in the sky as the impending cloud moved in.




I took these two pics of course from inside as it was raining ash. This was looking over towards our neighbor's house.

Volcano

As most of you know, Mount Redoubt has erupted. Last Sat. the 4th we got major ash cloud over the southern tip of the peninsula. UGLY mess. I don't have pics ready for posting because still using Larry's computer as mine is not up and running again yet. Anyway, they say the ash will be good for the gardens this summer so that s the only positive end to it I can relate to. It is helping the snow melt quickly too. So spring is coming. We are all well here and busy as always. Watch for pics soon.

whispy waves

Larry took this pic on the 15th of this month at Anchor Point Beach. Isn't it just simply beautiful? He was able to capture a wave breaking. I don't think he even got out of the car. LOL

Another completion in quilting

I could not decide which photo was a better shot so put them both here--of the same quilt. This was a mystery quilt. In other words, they tell you what fabrics are required and tell you to make a few cuts and then you go to class and they give you steps to get the main part of the quilt finished. I did this class last spring but did not finish the border part until fall. I would have chosen something better for the interlocking circles as one fabric is too light to really show up. I quilted this right after Christmas and just now finished the binding. Not sure where it will find a home.

sunsets Jan. & Feb.

These are sunsets taken late Jan. at the beach and the one from home was taken by me from the house in Feb.. Larry took the ones at the beach. We have had lots of nice days lately but more snow is coming. Lots more daylight now and the sun has moved west again in its setting time.

This storm came through about 10 days ago! As you can see we get white out conditions and can barely see the neighbor's house. The wind makes it more exciting in my book. I love to watch it snow when it is like this. Now we are having longer daylight and the sun has moved west--will be putting up some sunset pics next blog entry. Enjoy!

Volcano

No, the volcano has not erupted yet but we are on alert! It is at least 25 miles across the bay to land over there by boat--further from the Mount Redoubt. The ash and dust are our concern.
