'Deduccion loable,' from Les douze dames de rhétorique, 1463. Cambridge University Library MS. Nn.3.2, fo.36 verso. |
Sweetfern, Comptonia peregrina, is neither sweet nor a fern. It looks like something the dinosaurs would have walked through, releasing the warmest, spiciest aromas of imagination.

Lovely illustration!
ReplyDeleteIt's remarkable, isn't it?
DeleteGood luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much - the first load of lumber is here, so I really hope the building will be underway soon!
DeleteOh boy, finally! Hoping it all goes smoothly!
ReplyDeleteThanks - Fingers crossed!
DeleteThat illustration is from 1463?! She is deducing laudably indeed. May all the barn deducing go smoothly and the construction equally so. And the weather cooperate!

The weather is a challenge, plus the fellow who's doing the building injured his back a couple of weeks ago...but he and I went for the lumber together, so I am hopeful. I'm so glad to see a comment from you, Chris - I've been thinking of you and wondering how you and your pups are doing.
