Dupont:

I was near a week at Beaver - a beautiful week! Helped my neighbour with the glazing mystique after I found an abundance of test tiles which helped greatly to give him some clarity and introduced him to the many buckets for mostly dry but still recoverable glazes and the glaze recipes. He went home with much more confidence.

I did not get pots made but had a good time at the "third Saturday event", visits with a few friends and then back here. No internet at Beaver other than sitting outside the library - I don't go inside due to smelly cleaning materials.

Added an hour to coming home by forgetting phone and going back for it!

Not getting much done here as recovering from the long drive. Trying to get the house sorted out as a friend from PA is due on Monday. We repotted the ficus today as I feared it was getting pot bound. It was almost touching the ceiling and will still be but on a lower level

R's two stellar workmen did a job on the eaves. They may have decimated some of the flowers. I am rooting for Roxanne - I greet it at the front steps and it reminds me of the dear friend who introduced us! Another section of the eave needs similar attention; I will be more protective of plants on that side! A squirrel lives in there and needs find a new home soon!!

Spiders? Cobwebs: Son Taun takes umbrage with the cobwebs in our house thus reminding me of his neurotic psycho father. He offered to pay for professional house cleaners - ROFL!!! This is an OLD house -1902. WE have lots of stuff!! WE struggled to evict cobwebs between a window and storm - the window did not open far enough but R somehow got most of it. I have no problem with cobwebs and I am about ready to tell my son just that!
