The Friday 15

Collapsible containers and patterns and vinyl lettering and journals and clothes. A veritable smorgasbord of donations! And another 15 items are gone from my house.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

I've been watching coverage of the volcano eruption in Hawaii with great interest. We've been to Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island of Hawaii several times. We've seen steam rising from the crater; we've seen lava flowing at night.

They are always under the threat of potential eruption, but now the threat is real. Here's hoping beauty will continue to abound after the lava stops flowing.
