We have interstate behind our house and I am quite sure I would be a bit unsettled if all the car noises were to suddenly cease. The noise is "normal." I am glad I am not the only one behind on my winter gardening tasks. Things are bursting with color here, but I still have much to do.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />ChristiCharm and Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930920593855400694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-65455620555255062322010-04-18T21:52:09.566+01:002010-04-18T21:52:09.566+01:00I imagine the silence is lovely.

The mishap was most likely caused by ash. It truly is dangerous. I'm glad your son is safely on the ground in Spain.Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912030095491960175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-9486473036147655282010-04-16T00:12:54.073+01:002010-04-16T00:12:54.073+01:00We had several volcanic interruptions when we live...We had several volcanic interruptions when we lived in Ecuador. Ash clouds fell like heavy dark snow obliterating visibility. Even after the falling ash stopped, for weeks the ash in the gutters and yards swirled in the wind. Driving was minimized because ash can get in and ruin cars as well as jets.<br />Dare I say, enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasts?<br />And definitely enjoy the birthday celebrations!Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-77609873269682940592010-04-16T00:12:54.074+01:002010-04-16T00:12:54.074+01:00I can only imagine how quiet it must seem.

Of course she must be since Linds' grandgirlie is, too. Time truly does zip along. Take care now. I'm imagining that your church community will be thinking of ways to help those who may be stranded. It simply must be very unusual.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-67846990548467376752010-04-15T22:54:02.985+01:002010-04-15T22:54:02.985+01:00Was just reading about the volcano before stopping...Was just reading about the volcano before stopping by to visit your blog.

Your little Granddaughter, REBEKAH a year old... it does seem just like a short amount of time that I came across your nice blog and read about your sweetie being born.<br /><br />My husband had mentioned about the airplanes being grounded. My daughter-in-law's Mother from Belarus is suppose to leave her country tomorrow to come to America to see her newborn Grandson. She hasn't been to the States before. I pray all goes well for her...she's somewhat afraid to fly.<br /><br />God Bless,<br />dDeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08019741103496608961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-83512371733893362682010-04-15T22:14:08.714+01:002010-04-15T22:14:08.714+01:00Happy Birthday, little Rebekah.

How terrible for everyone that has had their flight canceled. Nature is very decisive in what we do and when we can do it. After just going through a terrible winter, I know all about that for sure.

We live south of Seattle and north of Los Angeles right in the flight paths of all those planes. It was almost as quiet as when we were both children and air travel was a lot less frequent.<br /><br />We are just south of Mt St Helens. Ash is destructive on so many levels. My folks were just east of the eruption and now have COPD aggravated by breathing the ash (and smoking for over 70 years.)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960854781062560663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-44047362952733444312010-04-15T21:13:11.312+01:002010-04-15T21:13:11.312+01:00I think this is a first time happening!
