Snowy day in Port Moody

Today was a good day not to drive in to Vancouver, so we still haven’t been to see the Audain Collection at VAG. But there was an impressive snowfall last night and we don’t have Winter tires. I terra sigged the bases of the 13 pieces that I’ve managed to complete since early December and loaded and turned on the kiln.
Alan and I walked around the local streets. I took a photo of this elegant oak tree from St. Andrews lane looking north. Port Moody legend has it that Colonel Moody planted it when he was here from England to survey this mill town at the end of the railway. Seedlings fom the oak keep volunteering in our garden and we’ve allowed two to stay. We keep them clipped as small bushes rather than letting them grow tall.
My MacBook and iPad are now synced so contacts, calendar and mail are on both. I can have Internet etc when traveling and leave the Mac at home. But arranging downloads and learning to use iPad has taken hours! The panoramic stitched photo is app Dermandar, a free download Margaret Hsu told me about.
The people who commissioned a new bird teapot have enquired about its progress. Luckily I did get that made and it’s in the kiln too. I took photos of the process so that’ll be my next post.
