We were fans back when /
her music sang from cassettes /
worn thin by our love. /

burrows under the felled branch. /
Mice flee rustling leaves.

One of my daily haiku from 1/21/19

across my hearth rug /

Daily Haiku, January 22, 3019

Damp, sullen, firewood, /
smoldering, rebukes the flame /
though coaxed with kindling /

Posted on January 22, 2019January 21, 2019

The door resists as /
I venture out to get wood. /
The cold pushes back

Daily haikus, January 20, 2019


We paused at the bridge. /
The brook, storm drunk, careened by /
jostling its banks


and


Twisted blueberry /
swathed in lichen’s pale glow and /
memories of fruit

Posted on January 20, 2019January 21, 2019

Daily Haiku, January 19, 2019

Plonk, plunk, ka-plonk. Tossed, /
they thwak, tumble, settle, /
growing my wood pile.

Whisper snow rattles /
pressing low the chimney smoke /
to spice its soft kiss

I poked my own eye /
while putting on my glasses. /
It was the left one.

Daily Haiku, January 14, 2019

The clock pulls my gaze. /
Again. Again. Is it still /
too early for bed? /

Posted on January 14, 2019January 21, 2019

The vacuum rumbles /
The dogs bark and dart and nip /
Fighting their dragon /

Holding breath, I stand /
To witness you chainsawing /
Until the tree falls

My hand’s cold but your palm’s warm
Pair of swans fly by

By a night of live music

I’m sorry to say the clear glaze on these mugs bubbled. I tried grinding down the bubbles with a dremel, touching up and re-firing several times. 🙁 I have now purchased a brand new gallon of commercial clear glaze for the next batch of mugs so hoping for more success next time.

These two tiles were modeled on Rebecca Miller and Mathew Dix, the owners of North Tabor Farm @northtaborfarm I created the prototypes 30 years ago. They are still working the farm today.

I finished tiling my kitchen sink backsplash and window sill today - and I baked some bread. 😊
Most of the tiles are mine, but I did tuck in 5 by Argus Brugge. I love their work and I really like it combined with my painterly tile designs.

I gave myself permission to play with paint and my gelli plate - as a way to unclog and loosen up before starting new 2022 projects in the ceramic studio. I was feeling particularly blocked, so forcing myself to pull quick mono-prints was a great exercise. When I’m really blocked and/or rusty, I revert back to drawing in a style that I used in my late teens - 40 years ago. 😊 This exercise was about turning off the brain and tuning out the critical internal voice.
