Painting of the Week - (as featured in John Sloane's 2025 Country Seasons® Planner) John says "Home is where we feel safe and always want to be. Our rural ancestors knew all about staying at home, day after day. The serene housewife in my painting 'Heart of the Home' reminds us that it is a pleasure, not a restriction. Today, if you're looking for a fun activity, pull out your recipe file and try something new ... make some comfort food or try something exotic. There are so many constructive activities we can do in our days at home. Think of all the things you've wanted to do if you only had the time. Well, this is the time! Make it count! Cook! Bake! Read that book! Take a nap with with your pet! Take an online course or learn a language! Every time and place has endured a difficult social challenge. This is our time. Our ancestors survived their struggles, and thrived. We will too. Day by day, keep calm and carry on. Have a great week!" * Question: What is your favorite comfort food? Who has tried a new recipe recently? How did it turn out?
