McCarty Pottery Purchases

My new addition of pottery ...a large jade bread bowl with "the river" running around the edge and two small bowls. I'm very happy with my choice. The bread bowl will have many uses due to it's size. I'm thinking for now it will be a pretty display for fruit on the kitchen island. Posted by Valerie

Delta Heat

The high temperatures found in the Delta, especially when combined with high humidity, is like a double whammy. Hot... hot...hot..According to Merigold's friendly residents, the large shade tree is the coolest spot in "downtown" Merigold. Posted by Valerie

Another Dusty Delta Day

Home one day and gone again...another road trip; this time through the Delta. Gee and I head south with our goal being McCarty's Pottery in Merigold, MS. Dust is swirling through the dry fields as the land is prepared for planting. It's early spring-not much color along the highway but later, after about 140 days after planting, cotton blooms will announce the arrival of white cotton bolls. Posted by Vee

Home Again....It's About Time!

Home Again.....Angel greeted us with a "woof..woof...woof!" (interpretation = "It's About Time!") We had a great time...I would definitely recommend the American Queen cruise and a visit to Oak Alley Plantation. Things will be different now....Maggie, you will have to get the breakfast buffet ready for Bobby. I think we were spoiled just a little on our cruise. This is my first blog and hope all my friends enjoyed it! Thanks for following it! Gale and I have a road trip through the Delta in two days and we both will be posting to that blog. I've got to get some rest between now and then! Posted by Valerie
