Indigo Street Pottery a Site for Desert Rivers Audubon Tour de Bird

6

Indigo Street Pottery was recently one of a number of backyard bird habitat sites selected for the annual Desert Rivers Audubon Tour de Bird event. Desert Rivers Audubon is a chapter of the National Audubon Society. http://www.desertriversaudubon.org

This fundraiser helps support the Desert Rivers Audubon conservation efforts and their Backyard Bird Habitat program. There were Audubon volunteers at each site to assist visitors. It was a beautiful clear day with steady bird sightings all day.

The jalapeno peppers are also changing color as they ripen from green to red. Soon it will be time to break out the smoker and mesquite chips to transform them into chipotles!

We are both working on paintings in the studio amidst new clay work. The studio has become very dense with so much going on! Both our ceramic work and our paintings will be on display during our upcoming Holiday Studio Sale.

The eggplants are loving the cooler autumn weather. We too are very happy that the heat is behind us!

So far the temperatures have been mild with only two light frosts. The days are still warm enough to allow our figs to continue ripening.

The petite Ordono Pepper provides a daily display of miniature holiday lights as they ripen from white to purple to yellow to orange and finally to red! Lovely as they are, these little peppers pack some serious heat!

Photos below: Visitors wandering in our backyard, which is native landscaping with islands of naturalistic, dense habitat and a network of foot trails.
