I'm totally jealous ... I'm going to have to haul gravel down the lane by the wheelbarrow load on Saturday. The neighbour with the Kubota is a weiner, so we can't borrow his toys.
Well gordo, its all in the attachments, you see. You got your bucket loader to move the gravel, then you have your scraper behind to smooth it out. Sweet. Of course, you should see the SNOWBLOWER! Does a quarter mile (half kilometer?) both ways in lickety split time. Oh yeah, grass cutting too. Gordo, you're young. The exercise is good for a person, I am sure.
I'm not as young as I used to be, Gary. The biggest problem is that the lane is 1000 feet long and the gravel is conveniently piled at the bottom end of the lane. Naturally, the worst spots are abotu 3/4 of the way to the other end of the lane.
Mebbe I'll get our nigthbour, Jen, to haul it in her 4WD ... It's a company car, after all ... LOL
Point taken, gordo--that is a huge haul! You get older and achier and you ask yourself 'what am I willing to spend my precious energy on?' My dad has a little wagon around somewhere too.
As my old pal Gordo says:
"You want plain, old pots or plates? Go see the other guys. You want whimsy and creativity? Gary's the man!"

my pots are lead-free, microwaveable and dishwasher safe, just don't drop them!
Mary Lee got her pots and says: "Love 'em both......I'm also much relieved to find that both pieces are useable in any of the traditional manners, micro, dishwasher, etc., something I'd wondered about.
I'm truly delighted ....the glaze is so very much nicer in person. Photos do not do it justice, alas! "
Gary Rith is a full-time studio potter and also an instructor of pottery at Cornell University's Pot Shop.
Gary started learning pottery in 1983. In 1985 he served as an apprentice to Dean White of Deansboro, NY and earned a bachelor's degree in art from Bennington College in 1987. He has been a full-time sculptor and potter since 1997. Gary started his business in New Hamspshire, where he was selected as a member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen in 2004 and in 2005 was named one of New Hampshire's Emerging Ceramics Artists. He moved to the Ithaca, NY area in 2006, near where he grew up, and is happily making pots and sculpture in a purple house on Fall Creek. Gary likes to laugh, and his first goal is to have fun making pots.

From Quebec, Mags gets excited:
GUESS WHAT? My pots arrived! Oh my GOD! They are beautiful and you are soooooooooo sweet
another happy pig lover wrote:
Thank you so much for the prompt delivery...... I LOVE it!!! This day has been very stressful, and your package certainly brightened it. :-) (Sometimes all ya need is a couple of pigs!)
These will be favorites.
Thanks again, M.P.
When Mona opened up her box of pots she said:
I went all gooshy 'cause they're absolutely amazing! The pigs are gosh-darned cute, and the glaze-work is gorgeous! I can't keep my hands off them! Seriously! I keep finding excuses to walk by them .....
Lucia has something to say:
Gary -
You're awesome.
The vase is beautiful!! It's even more lovely than it looked in the photo. And the surprise, I laughed so loud at its cuteness that a co-worker came in and asked what was so funny. Thank you so much! I felt just like it was Christmas here in the office this morning, and I'm smiling. Wooooohooo!!! You're excellent.
--Lucia
E.S. sez:
The package made it in excellent condition! I absolutely loved them. I almost couldn't part with the pig mug, but I gave it to my coworker for her birthday who is in love with pigs.
and more happy customers say:
"Gary, my pots arrived! They're beautiful just as I expected
I just wanted to thank you ever so much...adorable." Maggie

you look like you were having fun on the tractor. i want a kubota! last week my chainsaw died so i don't have any toys to play with.
Well Denis, we could have cut that thing up, but pushing it around with a bucket loader on a tractor....a million times easier and more fun!
My two-year-old is so totally jealous.

We need to get one of those dump-trailers for the tractor. That would make things much easier ...
