The big feud between dumb and dumber is the greatest gift to MSM since Watergate but they’re too broken to make it happen.

Fun fact: I was once commissioned for a bunch of gourd bottles/wine jars for drunken kung-fu form. That was fun. #ceramics #pottery #kungfu

Ahh, interesting. They’re not too dissimilar. This Maryhill isn’t even a town and about 5 miles from the nearest intersection.

It’s pretty amazing. Maryhill museum is really interesting. It’s a small eclectic collection of things and the work of local painters is outstanding.

My chickens have a $75 dedicated waterer in the coop but they’ll only drink from the bird bath.

Spring and sunshine has brought a lot of distraction and yard work along with it. This one’s taking more time than usual so here’s a small detail of a new WIP.

I have several others and while I love this one it never really gets played so yeah, it should go to a new home.

Thanks Christine! That bird had plenty of attitude but still seemed to like the attention. Quite a crowd had gathered to snap pics.
