Shari, of The Muddy Rabbit pottery, is firing the kiln that she built from scratch. The kiln’s name is Brunhilde.

Absurd lengths I have to go to just to avoid spoilers on FS1 while I watch the replay of this afternoon’s women’s euro game. I mean, they show the final score on the ticker FOR THE VERY REPLAY THEY ARE BROADCASTING!!! Oy. @sammymewy.bsky.social
