I can climb these stairs...

This is Mara who figured out the junked stairs at the studio. Don't worry there are adults just out of the shot with arms outstretched in case of a fall. Mara climed the stairs about 6 times, each time getting braver and more confident.

Today, I am grateful for the day I was given, for Mara and for Anne, Geoff's fiancee, and the selection of colors for the chawen project for the wedding (deep turquoise green and ivory over neriage clay made using porcelain and coarse deep red clay).
