There is a volcano near me that's getting feisty. Last time it erupted was in 1992, and an eruption is looking likely in the coming weeks. We're likely to get some heavy ash fall. My run is covered and still wrapped in winter plastic, so I've got a good start. Today, I am figuring out how best to hang tarps to preserve ventilation while blocking as much ash as possible. I also have to pick up some extra bags of feed, and make sure I include them in our emergency water needs. I have a pen inside can set up in my basement if it gets too bad.

Hopefully, the winds will be kind and we get just enough ash so I can put it in a little jar and add it to my "collection", a jar of ash from a different volcano in '09.
