Oh Kat, that is a shame about the duck. Animals do what animals do. Having those raccoons was such an incredible learning experience. It was up to us to recognize what they are hard-wired to do and get with the programme!

Already the 3nd of July. In 14 days the Music Fest will be happenig. I need to get hopping and buy some clay, make some pots, plan clay-play for the event. Plan some sort of covering for rain or shade. Need Robin to hook up one of the kilns. I would have once done that myself but he considers it his job and I am happy with that. Back in '86, I begged him to come give support while I did the electrical for a kiln at an apartment; I do not like dealing with 220!

Logistics - clay is way up in north end. Awning requires some creative thought.

Resident mouse/mice think nothing of wandering through LR. Do NOT go in trap regardless of the variety offered. I simply am careful about the availability of anything edible.
