Pack life. The foster is no longer a foster. Tigan is officially part of the family now. Dem ears. All the ears. #gsd #fosterfail

The carpenter bees are my most abundant pollinators this year. I’ve made peace with them.

I think the foster dog is broken. I am also 99% sure this will be a foster fail.

I had the most creative, inspiring and satisfying week teaching a surface decoration workshop at John C Campbell. Leaving that place makes me both sad it’s ver and excited to get back in the studio at home to explore the new ideas percolating

The spiral of a stem of common comfrey blooms, before unfurling. Made my eyes happy. #gardening

Zephirine Drouhin. Beloved Bourbon. Thornless climber. Bizot, 1868. I’ve coveted one for many years and her first year in the ground, she’s rewarding me with huge blooms. Smells like heaven

Force of nature 🐺

I came in late from teaching class and was greeted by a meow from above. June was moon bathing on the porch roof.

It peony season. Beautiful and fragrant, they’re my favorite harbingers of the growing season. #flowers #gardening #spring #gardenersofbluesky

The greenhouse is coming along nicely, and I started the addition of two beds and a path. I will caulk and paint next week I suppose, as more rain is coming tomorrow. #gardening #upcycled #hortigeek

It’s a greenhouse building kind of sunny spring day. Working on seedling tables. Don’t look at my mess on the ground please. #gardening #greenhouse #DIY

Nematodes, ATTACK! Heterorhabditis bacteriaphora, Steinernema carpocapsae and Steinernema feltiae: THIS IS SPARTA. Sometimes the bug population gets out of balance and the herd needs to be thinned. Beneficial nematodes help control, without harming the worms, environment, animals or well, us.

I’m planting up two hanging baskets for the back porch. This year it’s Lobelia ‘techno blue,’ ‘Headliner Blue’ petunias, Americana white geraniums, Blackie and Margureite sweet potato vines. In a few weeks, they’ll fill out and last into the fall. #bloomscrolling #gardening #flowers #spring

Movie you’ve watched more than six times, using GIFs

To quiet her mind before trying to go to sleep, my 10-year-old has been drawing a pile of cats--adding one new cat every night. ❤️🐈‍⬛️🐈

Progress on the greenhouse was made, and now it is halted to a ridiculous week full of pretty extreme rain. While the flood water ran through my yard, it was good to see our footing was strong. Hopefully I can finish next week. #greenhouse #bloomscrolling #gardening

Here, stop doomscrolling and have a cat break. Meet Captain Killer Von Bloodfang the Puckish, Puck for short. Six weeks on the right, and two years on the left. He’s a mischievous troublemaking scoundrel but the softest, warmest sweetheart of a nap buddy. #catsofbluesky #cats

Bwok. #chickens

Cat in the box.

I finally started the greenhouse project. No more seedlings in my bedroom in February and I can grow all year long. #feedtheneighborhood #gardening #permaculture

I spent the afternoon organizing and cleaning the studio, and June supervised.

Crime scene. It was a DERPicide. #gingercats

Stop doomscrolling for one minute and do clickens for mental health. clickens.chicken.pics

Tomorrow, I return to the studio, so maybe I will be posting new work soon, but for now, it’s all nine cats, all the time, punctuated by five chickens and a German Shepherd. Nomar is stalking the elusive blanket monster. Laser focus. #catsofbluesky #gingercats #pets

My legs exist only to serve as as a well cushioned chaise lounge for my feline overlords. Lady June sleeps soundly, not a care in the world. I envy her. #catsofbluesky #gingercats #pets

Bebe vegetable plants! I am on my gardening game this year and getting my seedlings going on time. #gardening #vegetablegardening #foodsecurity #feedtheneighborhood

Europium doped strontium aluminate. I’m off to go make some new overglazes to test. Glaze chemistry is fascinating.

Evidently, I have an ice hose, not a water hose. Can I get a refund or exchange? I would like a hot bath water hose, thankyouverymuch. I’m far too soft for this. May I please have some heat, please? #winter2025 #ice #coldaf #poolclosed

Humor from Nan Zito on FB. Hoping she comes to Bluesky.

Wednesday, left, and Blanche Devereau, right, looking so pretty, like they should be in a French countryside garden rather than here in Alafreakinbama. I think I will illustrate this image on a handmade platter and paint the color in overglaze. I’m off to get muddy. #chickens #hens #pottery

Ginger cats are rarely female, but we’ve been graced with two. Meet June. #cats #gingercats #catsofbluesky

This is a very contented old man. I took a break and we went on a nice chilly but sunny walk. His spinal issues won’t let him go the speed or distance we used to, but we enjoyed the time exercising together and watching a Yellow Bellied Sapsucker pop around a tree. #gsd #wildbirds #dailywalk

The elusive Cheddar says hello. Kind of. She’s not feeling it, if that look is to be believed. She does not care for the human touch, but occasionally likes to sit three feet out of reach, stare at me, make the slow love blinks, until I throw her treats, and leave. #catsofbluesky #pets #shethicc

How this tiny sweet ginger girl makes such a big purr floors me. Sweet Nomar is here to bring you a few seconds of contentment. Sound up, close your eyes, put it on a loop. Have a good day. I’m headed to the studio to get my hands muddy. #cats #gingercats #catsofbluesky

She might be a precious diva. I left a stack of antique picture frames on the bar and Nomar decided it’s her new favorite lounge. I don’t have the heart to move her, so they belong to The Queen now. #cats #catsofbluesky #rescuecats

The snow is coming down strong and piling up into pristine blankets. It’s so pretty out there, but I will stay here inside on the sofa with mimosas, coffee and shrimp n grits for a bit longer until I’m ready to get my hands on the clay. #snow #winter #alabama #milkandbreadisforsuckers

I am obsessed with the idea of starting a paludarium. It’s to the degree that it’s become an obsessive special interest sort of thing that I can’t stop thinking about so it’s going to have to happen. Resistance is futile. However, I’m sure this is going to go really well with 7 cats. 😂 #paludarium
