It’s always nice when the sun shines in… and your friends send you photos of their pottery being “spotlighted” in their kitchen! Timing is everything… thanks Allison!

I made a trip to MAURIE’S SUGAR SHOP in Eureka to drop-off some pottery… and apparently my friends Keith & Julie timed it PERFECTLY as they we’re just finishing a batch of homemade caramel popcorn! The smell was intoxicating, the process fascinating… and my little cup of fresh, warm caramel corn was AMAZING!!! Be sure to check them out… your sweet tooth will be glad you did!

It was great to see my most recent totem pole still standing in the garden this past weekend… even though the plants have all withered away. The soda-fired colors are a nice contrast to the browns of the ground & bare trees. It will be especially fun to see it again when the snow starts to fall.

A welcome surprise… finding a Major Wheeler Honeysuckle plant still blooming this late in the season! Love how the bright flowers make a great contrast to the yellowing Fall colors of the leaves still on the vine!

Saturday was a beautiful day to get out of the City and enjoy some rural landscapes in Central Illinois. As a fan of rusty metal & weathered wood, this barn is always a favorite along my drive!
