We have been graced with a much needed dusting of snow to help settle the volcanic ash, and freshen our landscape sullied from the ashfall from Mt. ReDoubt’s recent eruption on April 4. Although I would have preferred rain, I welcome the late snow. The lingering ash has been pervasive, and a general nuisance. A “Big Thanks” to Mother Nature for the assist. The photos of the pushki stalks with their snow blooms were taken from my front yard yesterday morning.(click on photos to enlarge)
