Spring

 HAPPY IMBOLC


Although the springiest day was yesterday.  The first daffodils bloomed, the sun was bright and warm, birds were chirping away. We even lit up the grill for the first time since Christmas. 

 Chillier and gray today, but it feels like we turned the corner on winter.  I say this advisedly as it is not unknown to have sudden snowstorms on Easter.

I am ignoring large portions of the world as a means of survival.  

We'll see, grasshopper.............we'll see.........

Hares and Rabbits

 WOW!  Not sure where February went but glad to welcome March and longer, (toes crossed) warmer days.


When I was still working with my developmentally delayed students, pot hangers were always a favorite project.  Considering that I retired fifteen years ago these have been around for a while.  Standing bun is from a different series.

Whistles and 'whisky' sippers are my go-toos when I haven't been working for a while, or am just feeling at a blah standstill.  

This winter has been a bit easier than the last few.   I think due to several things.  ! started preparing in mid September, got sunroom set up, set up SAD lamp, started St. John's Wort.  But I think the biggest thing is being pain free for the first time in years.  THR (hip replacement) was one of the smartest things I have ever done.  Fear held me back from doing it much earlier......dumb move, grasshopper...

As always, stay safe, and thanks for stopping by..............*s*

Blue Skies

I joined BlueSky a few days ago.   Not sure how well it's going to work out, but taking it slow and easy. I think I was on FB for at least a year before posting much of anything, same with Instagram.  Don't want to be too hasty!🤭

Many potters on Bluesky are doing a 'twenty pots in twenty days' thing. Twenty pots with no particular order.  I started yesterday.  Thought I would do the same here, or perhaps just post a bunch every few days.  We'll see, grasshopper...........we'll see.............



 @suzicaswell.bksy.social......if anyone is interested.

Stay safe, and as always, thanks for stopping by................*s*
