When am I not busy?? It's time to catch up with LeeAnna's I Like Thursday with some good things that happened recently (distract you from your doomscrolling for a bit).
My mother and I met up with some friends at the Harvard Art Museum a few weeks
ago. I was impressed with the size of the Grecian wine cups. How
full did they fill them? I guess if you're too drunk you couldn't drink
out of the flat ones? You may have to enlarge to read the quote that was
on one display - but I found it rather humorous.
The Chinese artwork caught my attention, too. At first glance I thought the box was either Mayan or Aztec - amazing that centuries and continents apart that the style is similar. I also found the other piece was so whimsical.
This is not quite so ancient history - although it may depend on who you
ask. My mother, sister and I continue to sort through old slides and
this one popped up. I messaged one of my friends the photo - were we
ever that little?!?
Recent history - Drapes of Doom made a comeback this week for the first time in six years.
And on the quilting front - I am done with the main part of the blocks. Now I just need to add the kaleidoscope corners to finish the blocks. Getting closer!
Rob and I walked around Roaring Brook on Monday - it was such a beautiful evening. So much green around the falls even though the trees have just started budding in the area.
A couple of weeks ago I came across this sign while hiking around Concord with a
friend. It was hard to get a good photo (such a beautiful bright sunny
day) but the poses are Dog Lunge Sly Scoop, Warrior Dog Scoop,
Triangle Pose Dog Scoop, Rag Dog and
Fire Hydrant Front Scoop. Ha!
That same trip we also came across a hardware store display with some
beautiful old hand tools. This crazy looking contraption is a combination plane. It allowed making some fancy cuts like a modern day router would today. Pretty cool!
Giggles, love the sign!
ReplyDeleteWonderful post and photos. The sign made me 😃 laugh.
ReplyDeleteInteresting stuff at the museum, and the yoga sign is hilarious! Roaring Brook looks like a beautiful spot. I bet the sound of the water is lovely!
ReplyDeleteI loved reading the sign about the many cups of wine. So funny! Roaring Brook looks like a great place for a walk. Such a cute photo of you and your friends when you were little! Which one is you?
ReplyDeleteWhat interesting places you visit especially in this post. Dionysos (sp?) was funny maybe unintentionally. And I love those dog scoop yoga poses. Perfect. How neat to have a photo of little you and friends. And I would love to see that Roaring Brook...love the water. Busy is good! A great post, Sally.
ReplyDeleteWow, interesting. I had a flash of the pictures you see of people laying around on their sides...how in the world would they be able to drink from these bowls laying on their sides. Glad you had a good day.
ReplyDeleteSandy's Space
are you the barefoot one? How fun that photo is. LOVE a museum, wish I was there
ReplyDeleteand I might give them a run for their money with the wine cups heh heh
