Welcome to my little corner of the world where the cattle and horses graze in the pastures, gardens are being tended to, cats and dogs play, family and friends are gathering and pottery is being made.
I don’t want to miss…
I am sitting at my laptop, looking out my barn/home window watching it snow. This is the second day in a row that is has snowed in central Texas. I was asked the question the other day - What don't you want to miss… I came up with lots of answers. I didn't want to...
Becoming
As I look out my barn dwelling window, I am reminded that life, for me, is pretty simple. I decided almost a year ago to work part-time. I work 12 hour days Monday and Tuesday. It has taken that long to settle in. And that long to realize that Tess is obsessed with...
A bittersweet year.
When 2014 began, I had big goals I had the usual goals, lose the same 10 lbs that I have been trying to lose for the last 5 years. Get more rest and eat cleaner. But my main goal was to be true to myself, to create, to put more...

Learning to Listen
"A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions" Oliver Wendell Holmes I have been reading and studying about life, death, religion, listening, being still and just what I am suppose to be doing with myself. ...
My life changed…
I knew all my life that one day one of my parents would die. I took it for granted for so long. They were healthy, vibrant and full of life. As they got older, they slowed down a bit. Didn't take as many long walks, went to bed earlier. Maybe took a nap in the...
A check off my bucket list
I have always love clay. Whether it be play doh, stoneware or plain ol' mud. I loved the way the earthy mass feels in my hands. I have been hand sculpting for years, but I REALLY wanted my own wheel.Where I can put my whole body behind it. I finally got my own...

Almost spring!
It isn't quite spring yet. In fact, yesterday it was 82 degrees. I sat on my porch barefoot and in a tee shirt. Right now I have on insulated underwear, a heavy sweater sitting next to a fire while it sleets outside in the 19 degree temperature. Texas, wait...
