Project 365 - Mt. St. Helen's Ornaments

I was 16 years old when Mt. St. Helen's erupted in 1980 here in Washington State. My family was out at the beach at our cabin when we got the news. I'll never forget the ash, the news coverage, our dog covered in dirty wet ash or my Mom washing the ash of our car. The picture of the day is a collection of glass ornaments that I've collected over the years that I keep in a glass bowl in the living room on the coffee table. They are all made from the ash of Mt. St. Helen's.  I've got little battery operated lights in the bowl that I light up at certain times - gotta love balls - glass or otherwise!
