Welcome To My Garden Blog…
Working in the garden, looking and admiring nature, watching how organisms interact all feed my inner being. Getting my hands into the soil connects me with the earth.
This is probably why I am so drawn to work in clay (porcelain and other earth clays).
Here in my Mid-Atlantic, US garden, which is considered Hardiness Zone 7A by the USDA, Spring is here and will soon be coming to a close.
I have cleared most of the Coneflowers and Black Eyed Susans that had Aster yellows and am keeping a close eye for other plants showing symptoms this year.
I am delighted to say that I am again, falling in love with my garden. 2011 growing season stuck a fork right through my heart, and I am happy it is now in the past and nature is taking her turn at moving things forward into the 2012 growing season...

Cone shaped shards and twirls...
I love it when I just put my foot down and set aside a few hours for me to work in the clay studio. I really think I need to get myself into an actual work schedule so I can get new pieces made and actually follow through with selling them.
So here is what I am working on right now (shards with holes going from end to end - not quite flared out to make an end cone - although I do have some of those made too)...
*I apologize for order & size of photos - blogging from phone has limits...

Spring Walk with RJ
Time flies sometimes. And At the end of a warm spring day RJ & I went for a little garden walk.
I adore little breaks like this. Time to see nature & discover things from the perspective of a two year old...
And of course from these eyes of mine - Black Spot started on some Hellebores and a few Cone Flowers that need to be pulled as I am trying to keep ahead of Aster Yellows thus season...
