There's certainly been lots of uncertainty in the world lately and I know that does not make art a priority, but I'm still here making things.

These are a few of my one-of-a-kind raku vessels currently available and if you could help me find them a home with a like or share, I'd be grateful 🙏

I also wonder what these graphs would look like if they were per/capita for these groups?

I wonder why they only compare religions, and not hate crimes experienced by POC of LGBTQ people?

What a horribly written statement.

Very fortunate and lucky. We share with our neighbours and the local school which has a food program for students.

Muscat, they are great for sdnacking too!

Enough for a small batch of white wine, and for snacks!

I'm pretty amazed at how well they did this year in a drought!

Permaculture really does help keep moisture in the soil!

I hope they include and ban Fox news in this.

They had a choice to stand up for women, Black Canadians, and the LGBTQ community. Many of us voted for them to do so.

Thanks! There's more to come 😊

Nice, love when that happens! They are such a lovely flower. We had a few volunteer cosmos too 😊

These are muscadine, but we have some concord grapes too. If you have a jelly pot, you can juice them easily. Just sweeten with honey or sugar, or grape jelly. Wine with concords isn't bad either unless you have very discerning tastes

Just harvested these grapes. This year the birds decided to share with me 😂🍇

Not too bad for a drought. I am learning how to plant for our warming climate.

I want your profession to stop defending this:
"Ms. Rachel, you might wanna crack open that Bible of yours," he said to camera. "In a lesser referenced part of the same part of scripture is…in Leviticus 18 is that, 'thou shall lay with another man, shall be stoned to death.' Just sayin'."

"By the way, Ms. Rachel, you might wanna crack open that Bible of yours," he said to camera. "In a lesser referenced part of the same part of scripture is…in Leviticus 18 is that, 'thou shall lay with another man, shall be stoned to death.' Just sayin'."

Yes, you should stop lying.

Good news! Based on my finding so far, I should be able to resume tariff free shipping to the US. Probably in a week or two.

It's been rough going lately. We've had a fire ban most of the summer and I have not been able to fire raku. Once that is lifted I'll be busy for days!
