The graphics (charts) are beautiful in that article that Donuel linked to about the Icelandic quakes. I find it interesting how often weather people end up reporting on these geological events, though geology and weather are generally not linked. But with the atmosphere being impacted by eruptions, and because weather bureaus are the most up-to-date sources of reliable information on things like weather, they step up to the task.

Our weather here in Texas has improved significantly and now we're into the pollen season, though many plants that would be budding now were damaged or killed in the mid-February freeze. There are still plenty of large oak trees around to pollenate the air supply (and upset my sinuses).

Yesterday I mowed the lawns for the first time in 2021. Mostly weeds so far, the turf grass is still dormant. And I have to go out and trim out dead brush from many of my shrubs and see what sprouts back from the roots.

Last year at this time I was beginning to go out and start driving after knee replacement surgery, so this year I'm hoping to get a lot more done that was too painful before.
