Sunday evening 🌖T

 

Good evening/ night/ morning, how's it going? 

Not sure if this is good or bed news vis à vis climate change. Remember the huge explosion caused by the underwater volcano near Tonga? 

On the one hand, the water from the volcano is contributing to the green house effect and making our weather wonky. On the other hand, the effect of the water won't last forever and in the meantime its effects might focus everyone a little more on addressing carbon emissions.  Maybe that's overly optomistic? 

Here's an interview with a scientist in NZ on the CBC Radio's science show, Quirks and Quarks:

And for some anxiety relief, here's a couple adorable deer.

Sunday Evening again!

 I've been watching the livestream of the volcano in Iceland, and it's very soothing. It's a slow eruption, so no big explosions, just slow moving, glowing lava. It was really pretty in the evening when the sky was all purply blue.

You can see some "before" photos here, along with links to more volcano webcams.

I got a number of things done this weekend, yet somehow the things I still need to do have multiplied. How does this happen? It was absolutely gorgeous this afternoon, so I was doing yard work wearing a t-shirt and jeans- no jacket! No hat! Or mitts! Woo hoo! I considered setting up the bbq, but I know spring is just toying with us.

Here is some Spring nonsense. See you in the comments!
