Today I put on my old raggy jeans and a dirty t-shirt, armed myself with music from The Idan Raichel Project, and skipped out to the studio. My first time digging into clay in 10+ months and I’ve got to say, there’s nothing like coming in for dinner at 6 pm with porcelain under every nail.
I like the feeling of accomplishment and the main point of writing tonight is so I can wallow in knowing I did a little more than read a book today. I tackled laundry and unpacking from the trip, was responsible and wrote a billion e-mails, began to tack things up in my room and make it a prettier (if not larger) monk’s cell, mowed the pastures, and spent a few hours out potting.
Solitude is still agreeing with me. I’m charging my social batteries up for this weekend, I suppose.
A puzzling thought came to me as I filled up glasses of ice water for dinner. Our ice machine in the freezer makes hollow ice cubs. How do you draw a hollow ice cube? I considered it, but eventually went with dandelions for an evening sketch instead.
As you’ll see from the pictures below, there’s a ton of zucchini inhabiting the refrigerator. I actually have a recipe for zucchini chocolate chip cookies, but somehow can’t bring myself to do the deed: it’s just too weird. But then again, we have to eat it one way or another, and I’d rather have mine with chocolate chips, thank you very much.

- Agh! What do you do with this much zuchini?

- Poker face
-
- I’m not a cat person, but they never fail to amuse
-
- Clearly hard at work in the studio
