quick dry



(pots by Gary Rith)
I need to fire the kiln Thursday, so stuff needs to be dry in 18 hours. The kiln is warm so some pots are on its top, and I am filling the sunny back deck with stuff. My clay body is very tough, and does not crack when subjected to quick drying.

I walk around and see other people's gardens and they are so pretty and tidy and I am just at a loss: I guess ten years in the woods has spoiled me for a nice cultivated garden. I have no idea where to start, although filling some pots with purple flowers on the porch may be a good start.

That's probably all the place needs, really. Let the rest of it run wild and see what comes up.

I had a tough time at first too. The gardens had been badly neglected for many years and I didn't know a weed from a flower, still don't know too much, but I am getting there. I even get compliments on my flower gardens once in awhile too!

Gotta just dig in and start somewhere.

Well, cm, except for this one nasty weed, that is what I shall do. Then, start with the boxes and pots of purple flowers on the porch.
