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.

This morning’s dahlias in my garden. So beautiful this late in the summer. And I love how they seem to evolve & change colors day-by-day as they age & open larger! A nice “crop” this summer… hoping I have a couple more months before the big freeze comes to kill ‘em off!!!

10×10 Challenge: More than ten thrown before 10:00am.
Playing with terra cotta today… I’ve got a plan & a “ghoulish” deadline!!!

Humid & warm as I headed out the door this morning. Not much in the way of clouds… just a dense layer hanging low on the horizon.

The first of many falling soon… but not too soon I hope!
