A joyous sight!



It's just a shot of our water tank...not very interesting to many...but for us this shot speaks of fabulous soaking rain! Amazing how much more connected we are to the 'natural world' these days. How much more appreciative of rain we are since we rely totally on it for our water. It's been very dry since we moved here, having only had rain on about half a dozen days in almost three months. You can imagine how we felt when we saw our tanks overflowing!
The other shot is of Curt's make shift solution to a sudden leaky roof...in the studio...the day I'm holding a two day clay retreat! Oh no! But he's a genius at coming up with the quick fix ideas when you really need em...which is just as well since this place is full of little challenges like this. Anyway, he saved the day again by creating a plastic wrap 'gutter' underneath the leak so that instead of the water dripping all over the clay table, it was channeled down to a more out-of-the way area, straight into a bucket! It's been raining pretty solidly for four days in a row now...it's raining as we 'speak'...
I've got more news on my clay blog if anyone's interested in the news of our recent clay retreat...
