    It sure has been warm and dry this May…but if you haven’t been keeping close track of the numbers, you may be shocked to find out just how warm it truly is. At least in The Dalles, it’s been MUCH warmer […]

    • Awesome Charlie! I can’t get enough pictures of all the volcanic activity these days. I just learned 2 new terms the past week – Laze and Vog. Fascinating to think about what the final result of all this activity will be. Thanks for posting!

    • Charlie, I am a quilter and I just came back from a Hawaiian vacation before the volcano eruptions. I was wondering if I have permission to print this picture of the volcano. I want to add it to the side of my quilt I am making from my vacation.

      • Thanks for reading my blog Mary! I hope you had a wonderful vacation. You can absolutely use a picture of the volcano for the quilt. The images are not mine – they are from the USGS, but they are in the public domain and are free to use. If you want to share, I’d love to see a picture of it when it is done!
