The first nor Easter of winter. A little slush and some wind but enough to make me lazy. #NovaScotiaLife #SchoolIsCancelled

I have ninja mice. I keep setting traps and they keep stealing the peanut butter without triggering the trap. #countryliving #joysofanoldhouse

This evening I had an injured Barred Owl in my yard. Its left wing seemed to be damaged. It eventually hopped into my woodshed. If it is still here in the morning I might try to call Hope for Wildlife. Sorry about the shaky video.

Almost Full moon looks like an #AlexCoville painting shining over the lights of #Wolfville. #novascotia #Habitant

Pumpkins!

Happy October!

I've been out of commission due to a surgery, but rolled out some slabs to play with in preparation for my downtime. They are getting stiffer and I am playing with geometric form and colour decoration. White stoneware, mayco underglazes, paper resist. ##handcraftedpottery ##novascotiapottery

I think I have done most of these.

In case you missed it. The new Banksy mural of a judge beating a peaceful protestor, social commentary on censorship etc, has been censored... UK Labour should be wound down - absolute fraud of an organisation.

We went to the vet today and then after we got to walk on Wolfville's waterfront. #doitinWolfville #NovaScotia #GoldenRetrieversofBluesky

Furthest I've been (from a Nova Scotian perspective) N Stockholm, Sweden S Athens, Greece E Talinn, Estonia W Hyder, Alaska Note that Stockholm and Talinn are pretty much the same at 59 degrees N

Stan is 6 today. Happy Birthday Stan! #goldenretriever #goldensofbluesky

This is epic level #Canadianhistorynerd and I'm here for it.

Omg. How have I never noticed this cherry tree on my dog walk in the local vineyard? #cherries #novascotia #vineyard #BlomidonEstateWinery

Suspicious, it might even be auspicious.

I'm Shocked! SHOCKED I Say!

Oh my heart, yes - I have found a new description for myself ❤️I am absolutely a Papyrophiliac and always have been - just didn't know the term until now! Back to school stationary shopping was always my FAVORITE when I was a kid! 📓📚🖋️😍 Guess I was destined for a literary life.

I hope this is true.

Beautiful day for a yard sale. Catching up with lots of neighborhood friends. #Kingsportgaladays #Novascotialife

See me today at the Canning Market in the Canning Lions Hall 9 to 1. Perfect activity for another rainy weekend. #buylocal #novascotiapottery #handcraftedpottery #Canninglionsmarket

My cactus is blooming. First time ever! It grows sideways because I the studio window doesn't have enough light. #bloomscrolling

Happy Apple Blossom weekend in the Annapolis Valley. The Apple Blossoms are actually in bloom this year, along with pear, the end of the forsythia, lilacs and flowering crab. All together in a Janet Doble vase. #AppleBlossomFestival #gardensinbloom #novascotiapottery

This is a "what would happen if?" Someone asked, do crayons leave any pigment behind after the wax fires out? Can you use crayons for wax resist? I did glaze this after, and they did seem to work a bit as wax resist. Stay tuned for the pigment answer. #justgoofinaround #potteryplay

Some tests of white slip and tinted glaze decoration from my #Lunenburg School of the Arts #LSA. This week is decorating for real.

My first market of 2025. I've made some special mugs for this one, and will also have some vases available to complete your Mother's Day flowers. #pottersofbluesky #novascotiapottery #handmadepottery #buylocal #Canadianmade

I laughed and laughed....

My clock stopped ticking a long time ago, but my brain is still working.

Making a handle sampler with all my extruder dies. Still have 5 to attach, but it is late and Cinderella needs to go to bed. Some of these I have never used! #studioplaytime #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #pottery #studiopottery

This was a demo in a throwing class, so I decided to use it in a glaze test. I like it. Now, to remember what the glaze combination was... #TumblerTuesday

This! And then there is Pratchett. Don't get me started on Pratchett.

It's #mugshotMonday. A handbuilt, carved brown eyed susan mug with stain colour.

The Clivia in the studio is blooming. #springflowers

Crocus shivering in my yard. #spring

Hilarious

It is starting to look like spring! Hammamelis mollis, aka witchazel is the signature tree for #Wolfville They looked beautiful in bloom today in 2 downtown parks. #seeitinWolfville #spring #NovaScotia #snowdrops

This adorable face keeps getting me up in the night for a pooh. Spring has revealed all manner of yummy rotting things to gobble up on walks before I can catch him. #goldenretrieversofbluesky #englishcreamretriever

Call it anecdotal, but my Canadian friends who are cancelling their US travel are not doing it because of tariff worries at all; they’re doing it because the US government is currently actively threatening Canada’s sovereignty and economy and they’re all justifiably furious

When I was a kid, all sorts of assemblies would play O Canada at the beginning and God Save the Queen at the end. I guess that means I'm old.
