Sorry about the weather, Charmion! Bancroft is having a mostly sunny day with a bit of melt. Still waiting for the huge chunk hanging off the east roof to THUNK! It has moved almost another foot downward. Tomorrow for sure! It is meant to go above freezing - a few degrees!
Still drying pots- put them all in the kiln with the dampish ones to themselves. Plan to turn it up about 7 tonight so it can be cool by morning - with hopes that the small ones that were last in will not explode!
Spent a length of time on phone with former neighbour who had a cancer - complete removal of female innards in Dec and some radiation. Hoping for the best; she is only 75. Great attitude!
And another lengthy phone call, with friend Hannah re the history of programs at the Yellow Door. Mind like a steel trap, just like her Dad who got it all going, or allowed and encouraged it. The two of us who were supposed to start the "Elderly project" have been asked by current admin to provide history. Be careful what you ask for! I am gathering a small committee of those who were there. And Hannah is searching out a newspaper articles from the time.
Also made a list of available glaze materials, deciding what I can do with this batch of pots and what materials - and glazes - will have to wait for an infusion of missing ingredients - may be at the mill. If it warms a bit next week I can get stuff from there and bring it back. Or think about option of setting up at Dupont if R has time to make me a civilized space.
Indoor woodpile replenished. I am still parking on the road... Waiting for enough warmth to clear the mess the town plow made. Smelling spring in the air, in any case!
