The sun is not shining but the weather is above freezing, the house is warm and water is RUNNING!!!! I had visions of no water until Spring!

The dishes, washed at the cabin are put away. The second load is in the washing machine. The front steps are shoveled and breakfast is eaten. The small Pau d'Arco bottles are refilled and I am about to head back to the country. Maybe I will have the energy to get some work done.

Nice pos feedback from pics posted on Clay Buddies, a FB group I joined a few weeks ago and from which I have gotten good ideas, some amazing glaze recipes - task: make list of glaze materials on hand, and quantity, and those needed for new glazes. Glaze pots that are waiting with the glazes I have finally settled upon as ones that will be successful. Well, that is prob two days work at my speed - get out and push. This site also gives me inspiration and encouragement. And a couple potters close enough to visit with someday!

Re the weekend's "crisis", those I trusted came through and we are all, and a few others, opting out of the deteriorated group with the understanding that if anything educational gets posted we will hear about it. Made some special friends through that group, 3 in real life whom we enjoy visiting and a few I would like to visit someday - Maine, Ohio, Kentucky... Someday!

Time for another load of laundry!
