Kiln unload yesterday morning Happy Tuesday! I hope you are doing well. It's 5:27 a.m. and I'm mostly awake - which is a stark contrast to last week when I could barely pull myself out of bed due to pure exhaustion. I would probably still be sleeping this morning if it weren't for all the …

Happy Thursday evening my friends! Goodness me - what a "summer" we've had so far. I think I see Bruce over across the road building an ark as I type! The puddles of water in my garden are no different than the ones in their garden. They at least have their food crop in - …

So, officially we ended up with .41 inches of rain yesterday. At one point Joe says to me "Can I coax you inside?..." I said "not yet, I only have a few more things to do, besides, I'm not DRIPPING wet"....I think the heavens took that as a challenge?! I was wet to the bone …
