This is relevant because it is a nearly 7′ wide set of oil paintings of an area of Italy that is very dear to our hearts. It’s on the road between San Giovanni d’Asso and Montisi in Tuscany, and painted by the very talented Thaneah Krohn. For they who have been, the mountain in the back is Mont Amiata. This lovely piece now greets me as I write my blog posts, which also makes it relevant. It’s relevant from a foodie aspect as it is the ‘terroir’ that produces white truffles & pecorino. Okay, maybe that’s reaching. Maybe I’m just excited to finally have it!!!
I spent a good portion of my day butchering. That’s one tiring job – making me realize my day job is a breeze. We cut and packed two animals today. One left for tomorrow. So much butchering. But I dare not complain. Not only because I get to enjoy the results, but because it’s fleeting. Soon it will be over [tomorrow], and I will get to enjoy [not] the terrible cold, slippery roads, and loads of snow. I’ll try to enjoy winter more this year, honest.
