The Week and Some Pics

This sculpture sits outside the chemistry building.

I don't know who the artist is.

This is what the sky was doing last Thursday, when Dave and I came out of Costco:

We were buying some veggies and wine and I was picking up a pair of trial contact lenses and two of the three pairs of glasses I ordered.

I did relatively well on the last exam in botany, a 102 points out of 107 points. I missed a few questions about the bryophytes (mosses and liverworts and hornworts).

The exam was on Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday were devoted to harvesting the tobacco plants. Friday I stayed home.

We took a few photos like this to illustrate our upcoming presentation.  (That plant was one of our control plants, so it looks relatively happy and healthy for a two foot tall plant growing in a four inch pot. )

Today I went to the studio and glazed. I have about eighty pieces to glaze and I managed, in two and a half hours, to glaze fifteen of them. The rest of the time I was waxing the feet on the pieces, gossiping with Lynn and Kai and Danielle and whomever else wandered along, and going with Lu Ann on a pizza run (medium vegetarian with green chile for me and Dave and a medium Hawaiian with green chile for Lu and Chris).
