Yellow
December, is this really you? The yellow in the yard was very unexpected. Due to the unseasonably warm weather last week, some of the lettuce bolted, and our Renee’s Mesclun lettuce mix is now blossoming and attracting little bees.

Earlier this week I stopped by Helping Hand Mission and picked up a shelf that will give my table some more vertical interest and space for display. The good news about this firing is that the mugs were a success. I’m pleased with the weight and shape…
