New York City… day 1… part 2… wait, there was a battle in Brooklyn???

Posted on October 31, 2019 by pouringmyartout

Yes, there was. In the Revolutionary War. You should Google that. I was still wiping butter off my lips from the croissant I got at the farmer’s market, and we walked up the hill and into the park. That would … Continue reading →

I used my digital microscope on those ceramic bowls I made… part 2…
