On a dark and stormy night
October 13th, 2011 09:55 pmWell, that subject line could describe both tonight and last night. The sound of crickets chirping is being punctuated with thunder this evening. (And yes, it's warm enough to have the windows open.)
Yesterday I got to enjoy an impromptu lunch with Mom at one of two new buffet places to Culpeper. While the company was great, I doubt that we'll be returning there as the food was really sub-standard - even for Chinese buffets.
Since![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
daecabhir went in to work very early, he got to come home early which was a nice treat. A short-lived one because I had to dash off to attend my very first pottery class.
Pottery class! The Marshall Community (an hour away) is offering pottery classes again and I signed up for a wheel throwing class to see how I like it. While the class had a little bit of a weird start (a sub instructor) we got to play with clay right away. Of my four attempts to create something on the wheel, I have two pieces that are destined for kiln. I'm really looking forward to going back next week.
Despite a rainy day and an afternoon tornado warning I was able hunt a little bit on our property (the tornado warning had expired and the skies were blue for a bit). I was pretty hopeful of seeing deer since we have seen two deer passing along our property line in evenings. I indeed see them but sadly, they also saw me and bounded off without giving me a shot. It felt good to be sitting in the woods ... even though it was just on our own property.
