It was dark this morning.

We haven't done Saturday Market since September; Clay Fest, travel, and a blustery wet weekend kept us away until today, the last Saturday of October. The sun didn't actually rise until 45 minutes after we arrived at Market, and what with the fog, the difference in light was startling.

This will be our last weekend on the Park Blocks for 2017. With a reserve space, we're required to show up at least 12 Saturdays, and at least once in every month (although we're allowed one month off for "vacation").

We generally take November as our vacation, for values of vacation equal to "Working like mad in the studio making work for the Holidays." I start glazing tomorrow for a firing that loads next Sunday, after which, it's back to the wheel again.

So a mild fall day at the Market, even if the sales are a little slow, is a pleasant interlude in an increasingly busy schedule.

Even if I did have to sweep leaves out of the booth before we could set up.
