Thanx to Texans for sending us this big 'Texas low', which is turning out to be the biggest storm of the winter! The forecast said 20-30 cm. (8-12"). And on this occasion it seems they were right. We shal see what we wake up to. Still waiting to see if our caregiver shows up! But at least we're getting one proper snowfall.
A couple of you commented on the Polar Bear artwork in the background of yesterday's Tulips. It's a Robert Bateman print which we bought must have been 40 years ago. I actually knew Bob back then, but couldn't afford one of his originals! The two paintings on either side, by my high scool biology teacher, were wedding gifts. We got to choose which ones we wanted! Only one of you mentioned the four quilts by Mrs.F.G., folded over the back of the couch and the quilt rack.
The snow hasn't amounted to much here yet but the media is making it sound like a major storm. Maybe overnight we will get a lot. Your Bateman print is just as nice a s an original.
ReplyDeleteAren't we in for something challenging!!!! I remember how difficult it was for my chair bound daughter in winter (and living on a farm). She had a friend who was a big burly dairy farmer. He would show up at our house in his 4x4 truck, throw her over his shoulder and drop her in the truck, fold up the chair and they'd be off. Eventually she and her boyfriend moved to an apartment building that was always cleared and accessible.
ReplyDeleteThe quilts echo the colours at the front, maybe one day we can see the whole quilt? Snow storm, I see you might be in for some heavy falls.
ReplyDeleteYes I noticed the colorful quilts! I hope Mrs FG is still quilting a bit! :) Enjoy your snow!
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not it was snowing here earlier. We must have had about a quarter of an inch of the stuff in places before it started melting! Everything's bigger and badder in Texas.
ReplyDeleteYikes, that doesn't sound like fun. Hope it isn't as bad as forecasted.
ReplyDeleteHere it's supposed to be 30-50 centimetres, but we'll see.
ReplyDeleteI've got several of his coffee table books.
You are welcome for the proper snow. I live in Central Texas.
ReplyDeleteI heard Bob speak at our capitol 20 years ago while he had a display of all of his works. I have all of his books of prints.
