Mid-afternoon.
You have had a busy day. It rained during the night and Carol saw a leak in the
garage. You called the usual roofer and they were out shortly after noon to
repair the leak. Before breakfast you had blood work for three doctors and once
that was completed you had a banana, pills and a diet Coke for breakfast.
Shortly thereafter you took the outdoor cat to the vet. She is fine so you gave
her all her shots, etc. then went home and picked up Jadah for her booster
shots. You had a late lunch at Chipotle/Panera after Graeter's kid cups of
strawberry and chocolate chip. Carol is presently at Kroger's on Tylersville
and it is about to rain once again. It'll be tomorrow until you can cut the
yard. - Amorella

hours. Once home from the grocery and PetSmart we put the metal tag on Ebony's
new collar with bell; we are calling her Ebbie for short. Next Tim began mowing
his yard so I followed suit. Carol helped and we finished then I did more yard work
moving two wheelbarrow full of stones from the stone circle I created twenty
years to surround the largest tree. Ebbie is still an outside cat for now but
we may well keep her and bring her inside for good. Certainly fairly soon she
has to get her tubes tied as she is a year old. Carol is drying her hair and I
am ready for a bath. We will probably call it a day early tonight. This is one
of the rare days I haven't even checked my email yet.
Later, dude. Post. - Amorella

Add a copy of the woodcut of the Four
Horsemen by Albrecht Durer. - Amorella

"The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," a woodcut by
Albrecht Durer (1471-1528). This copy of the print is thought to have been
hand-colored by Durer himself.

The Apocalypse, properly Apocalypse with
Pictures is a famous series of fifteen woodcuts by Albrecht Durer of
scenes from the Book of Revelation, published in 1498, which rapidly brought
him fame across Europe. The series was probably cut on pear-wood blocks and drew
on theological advice, particularly from Johannes Pirckheimer, the father of Dürer's
friend Willibald Pirchkheimer. Work on the series started during Dürer's first
trip to Italy (1494–95), and the set was published simultaneously in Latin and
German at Nuremberg in 1498, at a time when much of Europe anticipated a
possible Last Judgment at 1500. The most famous print in the series is The
Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (ca. 1497–98), referring to Revelation
6:1-8. The layout of the cycle with the illustrations on the recto and the text
on the verso suggests the privileging of the illustrations over the text. The
series brought Dürer fame and wealth as well as some freedom from the patronage
system, which, in turn, allowed him to choose his own subjects and to devote
more time to engraving. In 1511, Dürer published the second edition of Apocalypse
in a combined edition with his Life of the Virgin and Large Passion;
single impressions were also produced and sold.
