Yes they really do recycle what we put out for curb side recycling – I saw it with my own eyes!!! Right here in Philadelphia Grays Ferry neighborhood at Blue Mountain Recycling. This private company has the sole recycling contract with the city of Philadelphia and handles many other regional municipalities as well.

Fu Dogs
I live with 2 live Fu dogs. Here is one in action. Her name is Katie Boo.
A neighbor of mine has these on her front yard.
I just love them! They are about 4 feet tall and black. Very bold.

Bought This on My Trip
Here is a snap of a bright pot I bought on my trip to the Asheville, NC area last week. I picked it up at a Black Mountain antiques shop.
I loved the drippy deep brown glaze. It reminded me a bit of the brown coffee cups everyone had in the 1960’s. This has a nicer color brown + all the flame red. I just had to have it.
Turns out it was made in W. Germany for export I would guess given that this fact is written in English on the bottom of the pot. My folks are from W. Germany so maybe there is a genetic component to my taste.
Our living room is very sunny, and mostly white. I needed some browns and reds to help connect the room to the open kitchen that has huge Red Dragon counters.
More color coming stay tuned. Let me know what you think of this pot!
