Spring has to arrive at some point right??!!🤣

Zero chance of gardening given the current state of the grow beds🤣

Mornings in the #bog. It's like its own little utopia. It's hard to imagine a more cool place to be. The pitcher plant bogs of North Florida are otherworldly. From a recent foggy morning. #photography #landscape #ECK #bogs #pitcherplants #Sarracenia #fog #bogplants

A 6 day forecast with temperatures ranging between 18 and 0 degrees and a mix of rain, snow and thunderstorms.

A glazed ceramic teapot and two mugs with art depicting the northern lights along with silhouette figures of a couple and their dog looking at the aurora.

A while back I commissioned a wedding gift for two dear friends from @amyraehill.bsky.social and tonight I was able to give it to them! She turned my friend's photo of the northern lights from their engagement trip into a gorgeous ceramic tea set and I could not be happier with the result.
