Morning sun streaming onto my back porch. Highlighting this fun plant in a hanging container. Not sure what it is?… but I’m enjoying the bright pop of color & the new little flowers that just started blooming. I’m happy… and the plant looks happy too!

A quiet morning along the beach. Not much in the way of clouds… until a wispy patch of pastel clouds popped up out of nowhere?! And then it was back to a low-flying layer of clouds on the horizon with silhouettes of a lighthouse & sea grasses.

Pretty pleased with my wheelthrowing beginners tonight in class. It’s only Week Two of the new session… and they’ve already trimmed buttons, added handles & made their first mugs!

Celebrating NATIONAL GUACAMOLE DAY with a quick snack before teaching class tonight! Fresh & yummy… with some homegrown tomatoes from my friend Lisa!

Another beautiful floral arrangement picked from her garden… in one of my textured & soda-fired square vases. So pretty… thanks for sharing with us Rhonda!

Not much in the way of clouds this morning… just some great criss-crossing contrails to make the sunrise special. Another warm morning… kinda feels like summer is hanging on a little longer! And I’m definitely here for it!!!

I spy with my little eye… one of my hybrid mugs out in the wild! This one appears to be having a “play-date” in Theresa’s studio up in Alaska! Looks like a great addition as she’s getting busy with her handbuilding slabs! Perfect for another Mugshot Monday!

And never fear… I still have a LOT of photos from Alaska to share… I just need to find the time!!!

Even the puppies are celebrating another Mugshot Monday!!! Perhaps not so sure to start… but then Pepper went ALL IN while hanging out in the car!!! Thanks Kim for sharing this precious puppy moment!

Just clear sailing up & down the lakefront bike trail this morning.
A bit of a breeze… and a bit more sweat!!!

As apparently FORTY is the magic number again this year… #IFKYK.
