A Change in Altitude

Wow! It has been two months since my last post.  So much has happened that it seems a difficult task to document it all.  Here are a few of the more memorable events: 
  • Sold condo in Bethesda, Maryland
  • Retired from corporate life :)
  • Drove across country with husband and puppy
  • Got and trained a second Boston Terrier puppy
  • Designed a kitchen for our Colorado home
  • Found a rock with a fossilized leaf
  • Saw eight elk in a mountain meadow
  • Planted columbines, strawberries, poppies, sage, and chives
  • Shoveled a few tons of gravel
Needless to say, not a lot of pottery was created during this period.  Before I can get going again, I must finish the floor and walls in my kitchen, and locate my supplies, which are currently in a storage room 2 hours away.  Once my husband arrives in a few weeks, my puppy care responsibilities will become shared and allow me time to create.

In the meantime, the creative process does not disappear altogether; it simply takes a different form (like kitchen design).  The ideas are stacking up! Can't wait to start "making" again.

    It's been almost two months! Write more. Do you have strawberries. Are you missing the humidity of the DC area? Have you been able to get back to your art? Where is the gallery in Pueblo? Please think about coming to Santa Fe in the second half of July for a break. And write more about what has happened in the last two months.
