June again

[morgaina]

Spring and Summer are my favorite times of the year. Its still lush and green out, and the weather is glorious. my favorite thing to do is to sit on the front porch steps with coffee while Amby runs. Ordinarily, I just let hi be free-range, organic dog, but his favorite thing to do is to stand in the raised tomato bed, eat compost then go in the house and puke.

Ryan didn't want the kiln. I don’t know what to do with it now. She is the only person I can think of who could use a kln that large and I have to get it out of the studio to get the new one in. I am really at a loss. This is a small area and there aren't that many ceramic workers, plus to use a kiln that size a person would have to be pretty serious, not a dabbler.

my daughter is off on a new adventure. She moved to Las Vegas, at least for awhile to see if she likes it. i got a call from her yesterday and she said she was going to have to phone my sister. Apparently my nephew saw her Facebook post about being in Las Vegas and told my sister who is throwing a fit. She equates Las Vegas to Sodom and Gomorrah. I didn't tell her Celadon was going to be moving there because I am tired of hearing her criticize my kids, which she does every time we talk. I was planning to visit Celadon this Summer in LV, but I've had a few unexpected expenses, so not as sure now. And I’m not going anywhere until the kiln thing is settled.

I would love to donate it to a non-profit. Problem is that because of its large size they would probably have to build a building to house it. And Unless a school or community organization already has a ceramics program in place, Government and local regulations get very involved when there is a big box that reaches over 2300 degrees. Even where I used to work I had to jump through more hoops than were actually necessary for safety to run the much smaller kiln.
