Just told one of my dogs that she is my everything, then the other one came over so I told him that he is my everything too. Isn't it great to be able to have 200% of everything?

Niche geology-potter content… a little three piece columnar basalt sculpture. Wild clay with a bunch of coarse nepheline syenite from Arkansas (late Cretaceous) wedged in. Hopefully the feldspars will melt out a bit in the wood kiln. They’re manganese bearing so I’m hoping for some dark streaks
