Sure, despite popular opinion… not “every” meal is OREOs.
Sometimes something green sneaks in!
Not my first choice, but everything tastes better in handmade pottery!!!

Early morning sunrise with complementary colors… orange & blue.

One color to the next… “Good morning color, you look great today!”

With some much-welcomed sun streaming through, I was enamored by these little pink berries I had never noticed before?! I believe the plant is an invasive vine/bush called “Spindle”???… at least according to my phone’s plant app!!! Still cute though!

One of my stamped & soda-fired totem poles down in Central Illinois getting ready for Fall. Plants are withering & leaves are starting to turn & fall… love seeing this through the seasons!

“Birthday Week” continues with my favorite breakfast treat from my favorite bakery! A wonderfully gooey Fruit Pizza from Jarosch Bakery in Elk Grove Village. Yummy AND a great childhood flashback!!!

Urban cloudscape… watching the weather blow through Chicago today.

Just a little detailing & decorating… and they’re looking a lot more festive!!!

So I may be a year older… not so sure about a year wiser? But I still self-admittedly have the palate of a four-year old… and yes, I LOVE Jell-O!!! So I was quite excited when I found these at my favorite place… Lickity Split. Question though… do I eat them now or add them to the Jell-O Collection in my kitchen???

This past week in one of my pottery classes
we had a “demo-on-demand” request… and so it begins…

Yesterday was a great day for wandering. I spent most of the day hiking at Rock Cut State Park in Rockford. There’s a special fondness for this place as we camped there frequently as kids. Nice to have fond memories as you hike around the lake. Taking your time to see the colors & appreciate Mother Nature’s handiwork… especially as the colors are starting to change!
