Is it spring yet?

Who else is ready? Some positive signs—it's finally March and Daylight Savings Time starts in 11 days on March 13, followed by the first day of spring on the 20th. The 577 community gardeners also gathered on Sunday for the annual garden meeting. Although I did not attend, Tim, my favorite garden assistant, attended on our behalf. And where was I? Where else have I been nearly every day for over a month?

Making pots at the museum ceramics studio. Not sure if I have ever been this consumed with an activity before. Definitely being obsessive-compulsive about attempting to perfect this craft. I am also trying to
take advantage of the facility by using the equipment/materials and learning as much as possible while enrolled in this class. I've met some really good and creative people there and I'll miss seeing them when I'm done there.

I still manage to get over to the 577 pottery barn every once in a while. It's always nice to see those friends and getting there is never an issue when the weather is bad. There, I have been exploring different designs and techniques with small wall plaques (tiles). One of these days I'd like Tim to take some photos to document my progress then I'll post them.

Made another visit to the site of my future studio in BG—now named,
the Manabigama Pottery Center. Tiffany and John have accomplished so much in such a short time. Chris J. and I finally found a good day to go down there and we both returned with some great wood-fired pots
of John's.

Vicki's potager class is this month. This should really push me into garden planning and re-directing some of my focus. As of now, I just know I'm growing eggplant (my assignment) for the food bank.
