Most of us grandkids can remember the painting of the "cabin in wintertime" (see top of blog) hanging in Grandma and Grandpa's house. Sometime before Grandma died in 1985 she permitted me to take some pictures of that painting, and since then I have reproduced that snapshot by way of a color photocopy enlargement. Some of you have framed copies of that media. With today's advanced technology, there are other media options available and I recently ordered an enlarged digital copy of that snapshot reproduced on canvas, and I think it turned out great.
For anyone that would like to have a canvas copy of the "cabin in wintertime", please leave a comment to this posting, along with your email address, and I will contact you for details. The copy I recently received was 14" x 20" (unframed) and cost less than $40 (including shipping), and if I order multiple copies, the price will probably be closer to $35. I already have two requests for copies, so will be making an order in the next few weeks.
It was spring like in Medford today with temperatures in the 60's, which seems so strange that three weeks ago we were buried in 8" of snow and ice in town. Hope you are enjoying good weather where you are today.

HOW DEEP IS DEEP?!
WOW! is the most heard expression when we share these pictures with anyone. Terry and Lucy and I decided to go back to the cabin two weeks after our last trip to see what the snow depth was and we were impressed. Thanks to Drew, who visited the day before us, access to the porches and the outhouse were neatly trenched with steps.
We stayed a few hours, ate our lunch, sat by the fire and read, and I took a nap on the couch. We may not get a chance to see the snow this deep for a long time. But the cabin is snug and so peaceful buried in winter's comforter. There have been times we could drive in nearly all winter, but this year it could be into April or May before the road is passable.
We took sixty-five pictures yesterday but will only post a few here. If you wish to see the complete album, leave a comment with your email address and I will direct you to my Kodak Gallery.
Remember to check with Ernest if you plan to go to the cabin, even for a day trip, as someone may have it reserved. And for early spring reservations, you may need to plan on hiking or snowshoeing in this year.
