It's been a long week of glazing all sorts of stuff, and taking a lot longer than planned! But hopefully by next week I'll be able to do a firing.
This week's list:
1. This song "The Snake" by Al Wilson, which was actually written in 1963 by civil rights activist Oscar Brown.
Here are the lyrics:
On her way to work one morning
Down the path along side the lake
A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
"Oh well," she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you"
"Take me in oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman, " sighed the snake
She wrapped him up all cozy in a curvature of silk
And then laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk
Now she hurried home from work that night as soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she'd taking in had been revived
"Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman, " sighed the snake
Now she clutched him to her bosom, "You're so beautiful," she cried
"But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died"
Now she stroked his pretty skin and then she kissed and held him tight
But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite
"Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman, " sighed the snake
"I saved you," cried that woman
"And you've bit me even, why?
You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die"
"Oh shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin
"You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in
"Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman, " sighed the snake
When I saw the lyrics online I noticed the song is similar in theme to this poem I wrote in the spring "Lucy and the Snake". Must be a lot of people running around who have been bitten by snakes!
2. WestCote Bell Pottery! In LaHave. This is a beautiful artist run studio, right on the ocean, full of really great work.
3. I thought I'd watched everything on psychopathy this year but here's a good video I listened to while glazing:
"How to Deal With a Psychopath"
4. Classic "Spinach Dip" only instead made with Kale and mostly greek yogurt. The recipe I ended up with was a LOT of steamed chopped kale - probably equivalent to at least 3 packets of frozen spinach, 4 cups of organic greek yogurt, 1 cup 1/2 fat mayo, 1 big pouch vegetable soup mix (eg, the size that makes 4 cups of soup), 1 big pouch leek soup mix, bunch of greek onions. Really good! Though next time I'd try it with onion and garlic powder instead of soup mix. awesome use for the bags of kale we steamed, froze and put by this year.
