PLANS BEST MADE


 

Today was just one of those Mondays, I had plans, things to be thrown, glaze made and some odds and ends. At exactly 7:36am that all changed, the explosion off in the distance of a transformer blowing and the repeated cracks and thuds of trees falling all around and, in that instant, we were without power. Plans changed, no studio work which gave me a few extra moments here and there to take a few pictures. As you can see in the photos the trees, snow and the whole region is covered in an inch of ice, even the currently vacant bird’s nest, trapping us at the end of a 100-yard, uphill driveway in our house for the day and possibly several. The power as you may have surmised has come back on, the house is at 56 degrees and now climbing again. With any luck I can get several small covered jars and a group of soup bowls made tomorrow but with another snow storm now at the front door, maybe making plans isn’t all it's cracked up to be.
