Telephone Pole Farm …

Chester, New Jersey

This is where AT&T used to test different woods for telephone poles.  I believe it’s now part of a park !!   Used to tell kids this is where the poles were grown :)

Snow and Slow Progress

Looking at these pictures it just seems that 8 inches really isn't that much snow...but it is HEAVY.  And the beauty of it was looking out the front door first thing in the morning and seeing our neighbors doing the shoveling.  Taking pity on the poor woman with the broken spouse.



We are also SO thankful that this storm did not cause any power loss in the area.  We are already experiencing sewer line problems without losing power on top of it.  The day before the storm began they had marked the road to replace the entire sewer main!  I guess we will keep our flushing to two or three times a day till Tuesday, since Monday is a holiday.  And keep our fingers crossed.


I cleared a path to the studio...



And finally got to work.




And I will be back at it again today.  Thankfully the sun is out!

Nurse, Potter, Weaver, Baker….


I am determined to not skip a month on this blog...so here is what I have been up to.

Greg slipped on the ice 2 weeks ago which resulted in a broken knee and wrist.  No weight bearing for at least 6 weeks so my nursing chores have been the priority.



But January is also the annual Empty Bowl event for Empower House.  In the past I have managed 100 but this year with life, 26 will have to do.







Then of course it wouldn't be winter without a little of the white stuff.  We only have 2 or 3 inches but the cold reminds me of my high school years in Iowa.  Poor Layla loves the snow but the cold is just too much for her.  I have had to carry her in two mornings when her knees gave out.  She will be 13 next month! Once it warms up she will be moving much better.


Cold weather means COOKIES.


And of course with a laid up husband, weaving in the same room is the best option.


I have pottery orders to fill.  I am hoping that next week once Greg and I have a rythmn set I can go out back to the studio for 1-2 hour sessions.  Maybe a baby monitor is the answer?

Stay warm everyone!

I hope everyone affected by what has been an historic blizzard, with over 3 FEET of snow  in some areas, are safe and sound.
