All in a day's work



Apple Pita sandwiches are my favorite meal when Ed is out of town. I had to make my own pita bread, as the store didn't have whole wheat pocket bread.
Great pocket to fill!
The ingredients are easy. Provalone, sliced apples, lettuce, and a spread with mayo, mustard, and honey.
Dessert - fresh sliced pineapple - MM!
I also made oatmeal cookies today, but didn't photograph them.

Work inProgress


I have been working most days in my studio. These are pieces ready to fire inside my kiln. The blocks laying on their sides are to support the pieces that are top heavy.














These are drying and will be put in the kiln on shelves stacked on top of the other pieces.


















These are parts of a project I am working on. They have been through the final fire.

























We planted two Asian pears last year. This year looks like we could get some fruit.

We had two days of 85 degree weather here. The warm air beckoned us outdoors. We did quite a bit of gardening, mostly clearing out the quack grass that wants to grow on what was previously our lawn.

The blossoms on this plum are sweetly fragrant.
