I read an interesting article about the falcons in Rochester on Sunday. Mariah, a star of the web-cam, placed in the mannmade nesting box at the Kodak tower several years ago, lost the Territorial battle with new comer, Bonnie and Clyde.
Today, I looked up at roof top of the studio, there is a falcon standing the edge of the roof. I saw the falcon -like bird chasing the dove the other day. We have lots of doves on the roof of the building as plenty of grain dropped from the freight cars at the yard.

Pots are all waxed, but I am waiting the snow storm (wind) to settle down a bit. We had more than foot of heavy back-breaking snow over the weekend. I threw berry bowls instead of glazing today.



I have been busy throwing mugs,bowls…. I am about running out the space. I will fire them next two weeks. Kiln is loaded today. I am kind of nervous for tomorrow’s firing. I hope to repeat the same firing tomorrow.
Our dog is being himself.


I glazed a little and wait, glazed a little and wait. This is the time of year, when we have lots of strong wind as the cold front approaches. I have been more than ready to fire the kiln, but waiting the gusting wind to subside. It seems Saturday is a calm day at this moment.

I delivered some pottery to the gallery store at the Memorial Art Gallery, which opens
Fashioning Kimono, this Sunday. I do not remember ever wearing Kimono, except Yukata ( nightwear). I am too skinny for Yukata, and it tends to undone easily. I used to like Dotera, like a jacket but I wore at home to keep warm.
