I Think I Have Cabin Fever

I think I have cabin fever, or a hibernating brain.  There is all this cold white stuff around here....and it drips all over! While walking down to the dungeon, I get all wet. 
 
I didn't know that pottery freezes.  I never thought about it. There is water in clay, so it makes sense. I threw some plates and covered them so they wouldn't dry too fast. When they were dry enough, I cleaned up the bottoms and signed them, then left them on the shelf overnight. Usually a safe bet. But this morning they were cracked in half. They must have froze during the night. Not good. So,my process takes a bit longer . I am still adjusting to mountain life. It may take a while.
 
I got stuck in a traffic jam this morning on my way to Timberline in Cedar Glenn. There were 3 cars in front of me.  This is wonderful! There is no traffic! But, I would like a 4 wheel drive vehicle.  Anyone have one they don't want?

Out of Clay.....Ready for Home Show

Woke up this morning to 1 inch of white. I think it is snow, but have not been outside yet. My hands are frozen and I am still in my pj's.
 
I am temporarily out of clay. I am going nuts!  I have other stuff to do but I hate it when I have no clay.  I will get some this Saturday at Aardvark when I drive down to Long Beach to do my Home Show at my daughter and son-in-law's house.
 
Meanwhile, I will load the truck. But not today. No way am I slogging down my steps with 75 pound boxes while there is white slippery stuff all over. I hope it is gone by tomorrow, no matter how very pretty it is.
 
The dogs won't go outside. It must be so cold on their bare feet! I should get doggy snow boots, but they would just chew them up.
 
See you Sunday!
