Vulcano Blues

Have you looked at the sky, as I have, when you heard about that vulcano on Iceland?
First they take "our" savings, and now they've sent "us" tons of ash...my car is grey with it. But at least I hadn't planned a trip by plane, that must be so frustating!

Still, I heard it on the TV news, rushed outside, and yes, I saw great streaks of reddish-brown in the sky, making the setting sun spectacular. So I rushed inside again, brought out my camera and tried to preserve what I saw for posterity.
It didn't quite work...my camera isn't good enough... but I do have the photos to prove I saw that ash.
The next morning it had disappeared, but so far the planes still can't fly.

Right...back to the garden; sowed my Nasturtiums today. I adore them, they make me happy, they are so cheerful. And edible!
Apart from that I only sat in the greenhouse, watching the birds, hoping to see the swallows return. I've heard them in the sky, but so far haven't seen them yet.
