| Cleaning brick |
My world has been a whole lot of cleaning brick lately to get some more of the kiln completed. We've also been working to finish the kiln/machine shed completely before the summer sets in. Lord knows no one wants to work on building a structure in July or August with the heat we have been having lately! I can't imagine what it's going to be like this summer!

| Blossom on a zucchini plant! |
I have also been working on the 150+ tomato plants we have planted at the
farm, suckering and getting them tidied up. We have blooms on our squash and zucchini plants as well as small squash and zucchini! Looks like we may have two varieties of zucchini and some yellow squash at the
Greensboro Curb Farmer's Market this weekend!
The trip to Williamsburg/Yorktown, Virginia went well last week. Too brief as usual. Here are some teasers from my visit to Yorktown last week to see the collection of materials from the William Rogers kiln site, from around the second quarter of the 18th-century. See if you can make some guesses as to what is going on in the photos, and then I'll try to get a more detailed post up about some of my finds soon!
