Morning at the ridge

 Finally the Studio is clean and everything priced.

I always allow myself 2 days to recoup from getting ready.

I want to enjoy the day with my friends and neighbors.

This painting in the metal frame is my favorite.

Next is the Adam and Eve pottery duo.

This morning will I will take care of the small details.

Tonight is our Art League meeting I must

prepare the agenda and get organized for that.

We will be looking forward to next summers show

Under Indiana skies.

I think I will surprise them with a Christmas ornament.

I am thinning out my Christmas stash so it is easy to share.

Have a great day I plan too.

Saturday at the Street Market

Eight am and 38  degrees but its sunny.

The last street market in Chesterton for the year.

I buy a cup of warmth-hot chocolate.

I shop.

Huge cauliflower heads, brussel sprouts on the stem.

Large sweet onions.

Home made tamales for breakfast.

I stock up  on honey,dried fruit and grape jelly.

Bit of Swiss  bakery for crusty bread.

Now I know summer is over.

Holidays here we come.

Have a great week-end. 

Morning at the ridge

I have been too tired to take photos.

My upper body must be out of shape.

Wedging 40 pounds of clay

wore me out.

Only 20 more containers to make.

My husband has offered to cut ornamental

grasses to go in the vases.

He told me about the lavender grasses

by the big pond.

I checked them out and

saw lots of dragonflies by the pond.

Love those dragonflies.

Thank goodness he is willing to help.

My recliner felt so good when I sunk

into this evening.

                                    A couple of lovely spots by the small pond.

                              A day off for a doctor appountment.
                              Than back at it Wednesday.
                             

Homemade low sodium Tomato Juice.

It take this to get 5 quarts of juice.

Plus a morning of work.

A nap after lunch and no studio time.

In the middle of winter it all seems worth it.

Just not right now.

Only 45 more to go.

That equals 8 days of no studio.

Keep telling self it is going to be good.

Must remember that August is harvest

and not complain.

The weather is simply great now

Something to be thankful for.

Thankful my DH helps with the juice.

Plus the house smells great with

a batch of green pepper soup simmering away.
