The earth speaks

Mt. Etna (Italy) erupted on June 3, 2025. There was also an earthquake felt in Greece that morning.

Memory of Mt. St. Helens eruption 1980.


Last month, the last view of the mountain ridge on the other side of my valley. Now I live under swaying boughs of maple leaves, and with the winds we were having with rain, they certainly dance a lot!



Speaking of the earth, I can't ever remember all these eras...so need this shirt probably. But if I wore it, could I see the details?




Then there are the stories of Middle Earth!



The Whole Earth!



An earthy bit of humor...



Happy Pride Month!

A typical cabin in Garrett County, Maryland, 1935.  My Sepia contribution from the internet. There are some chairs helping with the wash...a loose connection to the very spiffy young man in the suggested photo from Sepia Saturday's meme this week.

Sharing with Sepia Saturday June 14 - a day early for a change!

I'm dealing with a new computer, which has a much better screen, but is taking a while to get the apps all settled in. Not to mention switching again from a PC to a Mac. Sigh. Gratitude for having the possibility of this refurbished upgrade. Just need to get back into Blogger's ways here.

Today's quote:

Remember, we all stumble, every one of us. That's why it's a comfort to go hand in hand.

    1. Good morning Eileen! I am glad to be slowly transitioning to re-furbished ne-to-me computer, but it isn't sure about blogger. It seems to scratch it's head about some things I want to do!

  4. I remember the eras although I lump the first two of your chart into Precambrian. I am familiar with the names of the periods but wouldn’t remember their order.

    1. I figure that my ability to learn new things has limitations...and it left the building many years back...but not quite precambrian!

  6. Your post this week is enjoyably filled with all manner of things. The irises are gorgeous, the pic' of Etna blowing its top is amazing. I dreamed of the Mt. St. Helens eruption two hours before it actually happened, and blooming trees in the spring do block views. Now I have to peek through the trees around us to see the hills I usually see in late fall, winter, & early spring. Oh well, I'll see them again in late October or November. Your "Earthy bit of humor" about Fox News made me laugh. I so agree!!!

    1. Nothing escapes your notice Gail! I often wonder how people can comment on all those details that slip into my blogs. Thanks for dropping by. Have a happy Father's Day.

    1. I had a half hour consult with support people. The Apple support is always wonderful, even if they didn't answer my 2 main questions - but that's because they weren't exactly Apple functions...just blogger for one!

  10. I could use that T shirt too. So many eras to keep track of.

  12. I always enjoy your medleys of images and quotes, Barb. Lots to think about. Every morning when I walk my dog I get to admire the view of Mt. Pisgah from downtown Asheville. Sometimes it has disappeared in fog or mist like a fantastic magic act. Other times, especially in winter, distant clouds give the Pisgah range a faux background of more gigantic mountains beyond like the Himalayas. But I often think about how I'd feel if it was an active volcano like Mt. Etna. It must keep Italians, Icelanders, Indonesians, and other people living in sight of a volcano in a continuous state of worry and anxiety.

  13. When I was a kid, I had a similar geologic time chart on my wall. I collected rocks and wanted to be a geologist.

  14. When I worked I had a geologic chart on my wall. In the natural gas world, Devonian, Pennsylvanian, Mississippian, and Permian are big deals. Always had to remind the youngins, that's not the name of the formation, its the age.

  15. What a thought provoking and interesting post. Plus I learnt something new with your list of eras of the earth. As ever I enjoy your final quotes.
