Skunk in my backyard!

As I was working on some pots I looked out my studio window and saw this beautiful creature digging around my backyard in the middle of the day (an unusual sight since I thought skunks only come out at night?) I hope it doesn't have rabies, but it was jumping around playing with the leaves and acting like it had spring fever.  My neighbors cat took a look and ran to hide in the barn. I'm hoping I don't run into it again....I'll keep you posted. www.jenniferranz.com

Spring Day in Greensboro

The sunlight coming through the stormy black clouds is spotlighting the Greensboro Barn. I've been enjoying the shelter of my greenhouse during this past week of strong north winds. Eating salad greens already is a real treat. I have lots of new pottery in the works too. www.jenniferranz.com

Snow IN again!

 View of the Greensboro Barn on March 30th. After a mild couple of weeks in which I got all my fruit trees and berry bushes pruned we are now having more typical weather and the wood stove feels cozy again. It's a good time to make lots of pots and jewelry. www.jenniferranz.com
