2018-05-03 - Thursday - Grass, chipmunks, pots, and fire

Thursday I went out at lunch time and cut the grass. My gait has changed so much in recent years that I constantly walk out of my right sock. I don't understand it.

The blue-eyed grass was in full bloom.

I found a chipmunk burrow. One of many.

The mostly native plant flower bed.

Thursday night I made some more voluminous pots.

Raku class happens on Thursday nights. Tonight was a firing night.

2018-02-22 - Thursday - Grass and raku class

I mowed the grass for the first time this year --in February. It's going to be a long summer.

Later, I watched the raku class at Clayworks fire the kiln. I'm not in the raku class, but I wanted to see them do a tumble stack glaze firing. It was fun to watch and yielded some amazing results.

February people! February.

2017-04-15 - Saturday - Missing Binkley

I cut the grass on Saturday.

For several years after I cut the grass I would sit on the patio bench while the lawn mower cooled down and Binkley would hang with me. He would push his head under my arm and lift me off the bench. He would rub his head all over me and I would give him big hugs.

Now after I cut the grass I sit on the bench, remember and miss those times. Those times were just one of a hundred times a day we would interact.

I really miss him.
