Blowing in the wind....

Just another day in paradise. There is a nice breeze blowing and it is loaded with volcano ash!

There was a partial collapse of the dome on the west side of the Soufriere Volcano last night and the ash has gotten here! Everything inside and out is covered with a thin coating of gray ash. It's grainy and makes nasty gray mud when you try to mop it up. With the wind blowing it's just a losing battle. Might as well forget it until the breeze dies down.

Know what volcano ash does to silver??? All the jewelry, findings, wire...anything silver will tarnish like crazy! Grrrr!

But I won't complain too loudly, at least the ash is all that we have to deal with. Life changed forever when the volcano came to life in 1995 for the people that lived on Montserrate. Here's a link so you can see what's going on http://www.mvo.ms/

Maybe I'll just open all the doors and let the breeze blow straight through the house, maybe it'll blow the ash right on out. LOL!

Think I'll get out there and start a rain dance. Until it rains the wind will just keep blowing the ash around and into the house.
