Crazy, beautiful weekend

So, we are just now wrapping up the weekend where everyone is rewarded for their hard work in the pottery. We all live in this pleasant bubble, away from the insanity of the capital city, outdoor malls and bumper to bumper commutes. This weekend, those accustomed to a life we here choose to not participate in, came out in hopes of owning a piece (or many) of fantastic beauty. The turnout was amazing.





We were all prepared for rain, hearing thunder early in the morning. That explains the great fortification above the check-out area. However, this did not come in handy until later in the afternoon. The whole area became a swamp as the water flowed to the lower areas. Despite the weather, pots continued to move from the shelves into people's vehicles as they drove home happy to own a one-of-a-kind, handmade beauty.

It's amazing the following that Mark Hewitt Pottery has around here. People drive from all around the south east in order to participate in this event.

On another topic, I just have to continue to brag about our garden. We are so proud of it. Here's a few photos of Joseph struttin' his stuff around his (I mean our) prized beauties.

So ends a busy weekend. One month and 9 days to go until the wedding. Time moves quickly, and before you know it, we'll be in our 50's and wondering where it all went.
