Yuppers! 3 shops today, pots for another shipped out last Wed. Good luck with your annual winter booth at your local spot. 

Looks to be a good season for us all.

Just stop by the house around 4:30 AM, I am usually crabby about then.

I'm back! Drove a 9 point buck out to a young hunter on Friday afternoon. . . his first rifle buck and largest deer. Have seen lots of deer, and have hiked nearly 20,000 steps each of two days, and something like 70 flights of stairs. Good exercise for a diabetic.

I know a few hunters myself-weather its deer-ducks or geese. Me I stick to hunting in the sea-mostly Tuna halibut and a few rockfish.

Yeah, if I were where you are I might also. At the same time, we both get wet one way or another.

Corrected its Alberta.....   but I have about 2 pounds of Avery....  it's so rare I'm afraid to experiment with it.....

Mark send some of that sunshine my way, it has been gloomy, foggy and misty for days.  Our nice weekend hasn't showed up yet, no sunshine.   Denice

You were talking about slowing down...:)

this is slow for me

Nice! When do you break for holiday? 

Be safe! Hope all is not lost.

I have seen the photo on TV they are devastating, people are digging through ashes and then the poor wineries.  Kansas had fires like this earlier this summer,  killing thousands of livestock animals.   It was caused by drought and poor management of land.  We have a invasive cedar tree here that needs to be kept cleared off the land.  They fill the property in no time and  go up like roman candle fireworks when they catch on fire.  They are trying to get landowners to clear them,  I haven't seen any of that happening.   Denice

My thoughts are with all those affected by these fires.  

I couldn't believe how quickly the fires took hold.  They seemed to come out of nowhere, but of course this could just be because the news didn't initially cover it.

Nice. 

Get some rest before driving out!

Busy time for us-we are 30 days out on escrow on wifes house sale-just signed in new renters today. I am taking a large wholesale order on trip to drop off in Santa Barbara as my nephew is getting married on beach weekend after art show  so I'm staying south-my wife flys down next week to SB for wedding and we return via medical appointment in SF on way home.

I will get rested in next few days while packing up. As you know sleep is harder when you are older.I'm making the drive south to Boulder City over parts of 3 days so the longest day will be only about 9 hours drive..

I'm done making work and last kiln is cooling for two days.

I plan on swimming in the ocean for 4 days while visiting my sister in Summerland near SB.

Should be fun, and I am sure that four days of soaking in the ocean will do you good. . .like a fish back in water.  I am trying to fill a bisque load, 25# pickling crock, 20# pickling crock, bunch of mugs, apple bakers, and batter bowls. Going to try working with the 630 on some teapots before the weather freezes me out of the shop. Also have to finish up next Springs Communion set orders.
