It’s starting to feel like summer for real. On the one hand I am officially over the heat (and it has only barely begun), but on the other hand the flowers, tomatoes, and zucchini are really pulling their weight in life so I can’t be a complete asshole when I am picking all the lovely flowers eating the finest of produce…Or I can. Just ask the mr. Ha!
Basically I spent that past week either at the studio loading kilns and dealing with annoying stuff or in my basement studio, covered in clay, throwing pots. A marathon of making to have enough pieces for my next market and for a few stores. So yeah, my back is killing me, I have bruises on my arms from my wheel, and I am exhausted. When I go on benders like this my brain goes crazy with ideas, I can’t sleep, and I forget to like eat food and drink water. And the sick thing is that I love it.
I did manage myself a bit of time away from the clay. The littles came over and we went to the pool, ate food, and played some mean games of rock pepper scissors. (Those kids, they really are the coolest. And are getting way to old. I am officially scared.) I also picked the first zucchini and the first beans of the season from the garden, grabbed farmshare and picked flowers, pick raspberries from the yard…I guess I picked a lot of stuff this week. Yeah, a week of clay and picking. A pretty bitchin week.
And it is Sunday and were are kicking off CAMPING SEASON!!!. I am so stinking excited. They kayaks are in the truck, the camp stove and lentils are packed, and the firewood is loaded. I need this. The mr needs this. We are going to Groton where there are a few big ponds, lots of hiking, and no cell service. 24 hours of nope to anything other than the great outdoors. I mean doesn’t that sound delightful? I am so ready!

-I mean, why not? I would show some art at a casino. Can Casinos Be Art Galleries?
-Any rapid movement let alone head banging cause me. at least a week of pain. Birds. They are wild. Why woodpeckers actually don’t need shock-absorbing skulls to headbang
-5 years of nearly constant wear, my Chaco straps snapped. Grrrrrr. So I ordered these new ones.
