Happy Halloween!

My pumpkin carving efforts yielded these yesterday!
Happy Halloween!

Jack-o-lanterns, Sugar Loaf, NY

From ghoulies and ghosties
And long-leggedy beasties
And things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us!
~Scottish Prayer

May Jack-o-lanterns burning bright
Of soft and golden hue
Pierce through the future’s veil and show
What fate now holds for you.

When black cats prowl and pumpkins gleam,
May luck be yours on Halloween.

Another snowy day at Bostree in Sugar Loaf, NY

This was the snowy scene today in Sugar Loaf, NY as I sipped my tea and looked out the kitchen door toward the Bostree Studio.

Although the birds were quite happy to flutter and feast in the storm, Sophie wanted to stay outside only briefly.

These little creatures seem all the more delicate in this weather.

I hope you are somewhere warm and snug this winter’s day and able to enjoy the beauty of the season! ~Terry

On this snowy Wednesday at Bostree in Sugar Loaf, NY

On this cold Wednesday of ice and snow in Sugar Loaf, NY, I took these photos and made a big pot of vegetable, venison stew. Perfect in one of Andy’s porcelain bowls!

… While Ray and his Husqvarna cleared the parking area of the Bostree studio, even though Andy’s pottery classes are cancelled for the evening.

… And the gallery, no longer located on Kings Highway, awaits it’s reopening on Wood Road, tucked-in snugly for for the winter.

… The finches fluttered and feasted, unperturbed by the weather.
The feeder is almost empty, but dependable me will refill it!

Wishing you warmth!
