view out my studio door
We made our annual summer mountain migration to our cabin near Lake Tahoe about a week ago. We knew we would find snow, we just didn't know how much. We found a seven foot glacier out my studio door and snow fields where the flowers usually are. It's been sunny, warm and beautiful. The snow recedes at least a foot a day. At this rate it might be the end of July before we see bare ground and are able to cross the creek (which is now a roaring river of icy water) and hike in the high mountains without snowshoes.
I have been working in my cave-like studio (think natural air conditioning) doing production on a nice sized order that came my way right before I left Berkeley. I am learning patience and how to schedule my time but I don't think I'll be adding the title "production potter" to my resume any time soon.

The dogs are in love with the snow and will be sad to see it go. John made this video yesterday. It is shot a short walk from our cabin:
