See… what a difference some clouds make!!! I LOVE these dramatic sunrise mornings along the lake. Wonderful weather for riding & beautiful skyshows to enjoy. Always the best way to start my day!!!

Another beautiful day… so it seemed somehow wrong to be cleaning & “shutting down” my front porch this afternoon. I’m gonna try to keep this begonia alive just a little bit longer inside. Good thing I had an extra flowerpot all ready to go. Fingers crossed…

Another 10×10 Challenge! More than ten pieces thrown before 10:00am. This time working on another batch of mugs… just replenishing inventory for my upcoming Holiday Home Show! Always the weekend before Thanksgiving… mark your calendars!

Yay!!! See what a difference a few clouds can make… compared to the clear sky mornings we’ve had the rest of the week. Maybe it’s just me, but I love these “dramatic cloud” mornings with color splashing & streaking across the sky. Sure, clear skies are nice and all… but c’mon…

Something fun is coming soon…
getting ready to “pop-up” in just two weeks!!!
Mark your calendar… more details to come!!!

It was a very foggy Friday! My morning ride was CRAZY with fog today. I could literally see “clouds” of fog passing in front of my headlight… plus a lot of damp moisture gathering on my face, hands & clothing. There was an insane amount of fog lying low in the grassy areas… blankets of fog… especially covering the softball fields at Waveland Clock Tower. Yes, the bottom half of that photo is FOG!!! Crazy cool, right???

Yes, my morning bike rides currently begin when it is pitch black outside. I’m riding the first half of my ride in darkness. I’m one of he few people who are looking forward to the upcoming time change! But today was extra-cool when there was so much fog hanging out in the lower areas.

So misty. So damp. So cool.

Flowers from the Farmers Market always look better in a handmade pottery vase.
Just so happens I have “a few” to choose from!!!

Another cloud-free day!
Just clear skies while pedaling & waiting for the sun to appear.
This has been an amazing weather week so far!!!

Early morning before the sunrise…
