Its Spring... Finally!!!

Josh is building us a

gazebo out of logs and

sticks. You can see it behind

the clay birdhouses and the

clay bird bath guy. See my

web site to see how the

Goshen & Torrington school

kids made these unusual

bird condos.

My new Almond tree

survived the winter! Yeh!

And here it is with pink

blossoms infront of the

tree fort and tree face.

Below is the new clay Rabbit.

He is that small sculpture,

way up above the fish pool.

He is made of red clay,

overfired to cone 4, which

made him hard and metallic.

And my newly painted sign for Spring! The 2 quart pitcher has a hole in the bottom to attach it to the pole, and for drainage in the freezing cold winter...that is now over...amen.

Three years ago, our little cat Fiona got hit by

a car. She was the sweetest cat you ever saw.

Orange, white and grey. She was found in a

garage in town, in a pipe. Her mom had died, but

she and her sister, Sweet Pea, survived and have had good homes. When I first saw the scrawny little thing, I thought...{what and ugly kitten}. But she turned out quite pretty.

She liked to go "way up". She climbed to the top of cupboards, sheds, bookcases, and even climbed

into the kitchen ceiling as I was replacing it.

We miss her, but are glad to have shared some good times... she with us, and we with her.
