Fall is beautiful in Pittsburgh

Our pottery is looking so very good right now. I am really enjoying the ideas that our customers are putting on our pots because there is a nice mix of logos being ordered.

 They look even better in the light of Pittsburgh's fall season.

 Very warm and cozy, even with the cold snap we got early this year. We've been kept very busy; and so have the dogs....

 kind of....

 sort of.

 This time of year, every chance we get, it's nice to be outside. There are a lot of natural parks very close to Pittsburgh you can enjoy. Raccoon State Park is within an hour's drive of Pittsburgh. It offers some beautiful and interesting trails on which to hike and go backpacking, especially for beginners.

The park offers shelters for backpackers to use that are clean and comfortable (relatively).

And it is dog friendly, which for us is important.

 We found an odd mailbox in the middle of nowhere in which we found random notes from passing hikers.

 It's a wonderful part of Pittsburgh.
