My friend Susie seems to go through kilns also, Dorothy. They have hard work to do. She has some small ones for glass art, not just the big ceramic ones.

A couple of garden declutter chores down, and I came into the house to do a quick Google on the next one (double-checking what I thought I remembered about concrete in a bucket for a post). I have some cannas that are spreading out of their bed, but that same bed saw some die-off close to the house this last winter. I've dug and moved a few back into the bed. When it's full they keep weeds out by shading them, so I needed to fill in the back. Now to run the soaker hose and get those new ones watered in.

I haven't eaten much today, and all of it soft. I learned my lesson yesterday. In addition to tender gums my jaw is still stiff from the long time it took for the work (when things are jammed into your mouth and you sit there for two hours like that as they come and go).

A trip to the recycle bins is in the cards later today, along with gas and the post office. Even though the smaller car gets better mileage I still try to make several stops in a circuit when I run errands.
