There's a lot of promise at the beginning of Spring. A few weeks ago I spied my
bird's nest spruce, Picea abies 'Nidiformis', which I planted last year, sprouting new growth. See the tiny pale green tips, a promise of more to come.
What a difference a few weeks makes; now the dwarf spruce is covered with lush pale green goodness.
I grow plants for many reasons, to please my eye or to please my soul, to challenge the elements or to challenge my patience, for novelty or for nostalgia, but mostly for the joy of seeing them grow - David Hopson
In other news one of the multi colored bowls developed a crack along the rim. I think it was a bit thinner in that spot. No sense in trying to patch it as it's never quite the same, still a disappointment. I have the back porch cleaned up enough to get to the kiln so I should be able to fire a bisque load this week.
Meanwhile Gary went on a jeep run yesterday at
Beasley Knob and wanted me to show you his dirty jeep. I expected it to be covered from top to bottom in mud. In Gary's eyes this is really dirty. Of course he had to wash and wax it right away. There are lots of knobs and balds around here rather than mountain tops, not sure what the differences are, how about you? Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
