the pleasures of a
spartan winter
---------------------
The weather report said we could
expect one, maybe two, inches of snow. I'm guessing we
received about six inches of the white stuff!

about artist
Rockwell Kent:
... and it was at the
Thayers' uninsulated, often unheated house in New Hampshire that Kent learned the
pleasures of a spartan winter. "There is discomfort, even misery in
being cold," he later wrote, "and yet do you know I love this misery and
court it."
