New Kid On The Block
My friend Debra started a blog and I’m so thrilled that she’s adding her unique and thoughtful voice to the blogosphere. She and her husband Steve own the brick and mortar Elements Gallery in the struggling arts community of Peninsula, Ohio. Steve’s pottery is just incredible and Debra does beautiful, ethereal, hand-built tiles.
She’s writing about the potter’s life, the creative life, at the growing site From Skilled Hands—please go welcome her to her new online home. It’ll make me happy. It’s my birthday, so you should all want to make me happy, no?
"In summer we live out of doors, and have only impulses and feelings, which are all for action, and must wait commonly for the stillness and longer nights of autumn and winter before any thought will subside; we are sensible that behind the rustling leaves, and the stacks of grain, and the bare clusters of the grape, there is the field of a wholly new life, which no man has lived; that even this earth was made for more mysterious and nobler inhabitants than men and women. In the hues of October sunsets, we see the portals to other mansions than those which we occupy."
~Henry David Thoreau

Happy Birthday—I enjoy your blog, especially the gardening aspects and am happy to tell you I stole your pea-trellis-from-sticks idea..not so much as a pea-trellis but as an anti-chicken device. Local foods rule!

Kelly, thank you for your kind words on this your special day. The day when you can have ice cream for breakfast if you want to. When you realize that growing older is the gift that getting older isn’t. I guess this is the place to publicly say how I treasure our friendship, and that which we share.
Happy birthday, dear friend!

Ah - Peninsula, Ohio - I grew up miles from there! Used to go to the falls as a child.
