First Snow

Snow is nothing unique to Omaha's long winter season. Growing up in the Midwest, snow is about as novel an idea as meat and potatoes, however, this morning my husband told me I was acting like it was the first time I'd ever seen snow.

I'm not looking forward to shoveling, wiping off my black pants, donning snow boots and constantly cleaning off little paws, but I still get an excited feeling at seeing the first snow of the season. The leaves haven't had a chance to fall off the trees, flowers are still placed sporatically in front yards and the white fluffy stuff makes it all look beautiful.

So, as we say goodbye to wearing sandals and no socks (sigh) and hello to swishy boots and mittens, let's also say thanks for the perfect photo opportunity and hope for some warm temperatures still in October, before it's permanently white.

Jewel in the Farm Fields

Nearby Wapogassett, another jewel is tucked away in the farm fields of Wisconsin. Built in an historic general store in Amery, WI, is The Potter’s House is an artist’s studio, where Sarah Dudgeon makes magic on a wheel and fires it in the hand-built kiln in the backyard. Each piece of pottery is unique. Colors, lines and patterns remind one of a nostalgic art form caressed with a contemporary eye. There are dishes, mugs, pots and garden décor in nature inspired designs and one can’t help but enjoy the host. Sarah Dudgeon invites you into her home and studio to learn more about her passion and to take in her contagious spirit. The Potter’s House is a special find and a must-stop if you’re driving by.
