Blue skies. Yellow leaves.
And the inevitable bare branches not too far behind.

It’s November First and were surrounded by beautiful Fall colors.
A great way to kick-off a new month.

With a lack of color in the morning sunrise, I was pleased to find all of the color instead along the bike trail. The Fall foliage is just starting to pop in vibrant colors. These cool evenings are sure to bring this along quickly in the next week or so.

Fall is in the air… even though tonight it feels a bit more like Winter!!!
And it’s always fun to see people using my pottery in their homes…
especially to dress up their table with some candles, acorns and a stamped red platter
by you know who! A beautiful combination.

Fall is in the air. The mums are blooming. HELLO OCTOBER.

Today were being treated to both May Flowers AND May Showers… lucky us!

A sure sign of Spring when the star magnolias start to bloom.
Love these flowers… too bad they are so fleeting & short-lived!

And what better way to celebrate Spring finally making it to Chicago
than with some bright flowers in a few different stamped & soda-fired vases?!

Square, traditional or vertical cylinder? Which is your favorite???

Enough snow today that even the Chicago Cubs Home Opening Day had to be postponed until tomorrow! Sure, it may be a bit warmer & drier for everyone… but I was kinda looking forward to watching players literally SLIDING into Home Plate… and continue sliding into a snow bank! C’mon, this coulda been hysterically fun to watch!!!

Really?… again? Another snowy Spring day in Chicago…
at least it made for a serene morning in Wicker Park.
