~ ~ ~ VERNON KILNS POTTERY ~ ~ ~

When I have a house . . . as I sometime may
. . . I'll suit my fancy in every way.
I'll fill it with things that have caught my eye
In drifting from Iceland to Molokai . . .

California Sundae Have you tasted the air today? It is sunlight honey Poured over champagne-sherbet Of winds from the snow-capped peaks, bluely distant, Flavored with orange-flower water From the citrus groves, Topped with whipped cream And marshmallow of clouds Spiced with the red maraschino cherry Of the setting sun. ~~Don Blanding Mostly California, 1948

Unwritten Law In Carmel-by-the-Sea It is an unwritten law that no one Shall have less than one Dog. I can't figure out Whether the dogs Grow to resemble the owners Or vice-versa But there are Some remarkable resemblances . . . Sometimes you can't tell Which is which Until one of them Barks. ~~Don Blanding Mostly California, 1948
