Snow, snow, snow....slushy mostly. Bill said he felt lucky to have his knee-high rubber boots. Yesterday I stepped into a slush puddle up to my mid-calves.
I found this puzzle of a 16th-century map of Scandinavia at a resale shop and we all had a fun time working on it--lots of sea monsters attacking ships. Here's a description of the map: Carta marina, a wall map of Scandinavia, by Olaus Magnus. The caption reads : A Marine map and Description of the Northern Lands and of their Marvels, most carefully drawn up at Venice in the year 1539 through the generous assistance of the Most Honourable Lord Hieronymo Quirino.
