yipeeeee.....

okay, there's nothing better than a snow day--waking up to that soft white blanket over everything, so beautiful. here's some of my pics from the day--we had a great time relaxing and playing in the snow with judson and riley.

new snow, new president--i know we'll be back to the real world and work tomorrow, but for a few hours today, everything seemed almost perfect.

here's hoping for at least one more snow day before the end of winter...

fishfood for thought...

well, back from a couple of days in asheville/hendersonville, and it was a great recharge. It's good to get away once in a while...now my brain is full of new ideas that i can't wait to get started on...

saturday afternoon before we left, judson was watching pbs--he loves to watch the cooking shows with me. i don't know what show it was, but they were fishing for flounder and grilling it right there on the boat (it looked so good!!). all of a sudden, judson screamed "they're making food out of that fish--why are they doing that?" it was the first time he's made the connection between animals and food...i knew he would put it together at some point, but i thought it would be with chicken, since we have chickens, and we eat....chicken. little guy's growing up--i wonder if he'll still eat fish sticks?

how'd that happen?...

is it really january already? how did that happen??? it's funny that i haven't blogged in so long, i've been on the computer so much lately. we're totally re-doing our website www.averypotteryandtileworks.com-- i never thought about how much work would go into gathering the text and images for the new site. hopefully i will have it up and running soon--i'm really excited to see how it all turns out. the image above is the view out my window yesterday--the sky has been amazing the past couple of days with all the wind and rain we've been having. 

i've also been making alot of lists...i have this weird addiction to lists. i have stacks all over the place of little pieces of paper with things i need to do or want to remember. i guess i'm hoping to free up some space in my brain for other clutter...

i don't want to sound too cliche, i'm not going to list my new year's resolutions (believe me, i have lists for that too!), but there are two things i'm determined to start doing this year. one is to carry my camera with me more often, and the other is to make homemade pizza dough...i've been really intimidated by the idea because i've never made any yeast breads, but i'm going to give it a try. (i might need some help ron and tom!!) 

to be continued.........happy january!
