Another view of an abandoned farm near Dekalb,IL. This was is unusual because of the great old brick home that has been left to decay. Nearly all the other structures on the farm have lost their battle with neglect, most full of old machinery. A truly unique feature of the old house is a large dinner bell mounted on a wrought iron pole outside,the rope to ring it still leading inside a side door. It probably still rings in the wind now,but no one has answered it for a long time....

The Calling of Saint Matthew is an oil painting by Caravaggio that depicts the moment Jesus Christ calls on the tax collector Matthew to follow him. It was completed in 1599–1600 for the Contarelli Chapel in the church of the French congregation, San Luigi dei Francesi in Rome, where it remains. It hangs alongside two other paintings of Matthew by Caravaggio, The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew (painted around the same time as the Calling) and The Inspiration of Saint Matthew (1602).
More than a decade earlier, Cardinal Matthieu Cointerel (in Italian, Matteo Contarelli) had left funds and specific instructions in his will for the decoration of a chapel based on themes related to his namesake, Saint Matthew. The dome of the chapel was decorated with frescoes by the late Mannerist artist Giuseppe Cesari, Caravaggio's former employer and one of the most popular painters in Rome at the time. But as Cesari became busy with royal and papal patronage, Cardinal Francesco Del Monte, Caravaggio's patron and also the prefect of the Fabbrica of St Peter's (the Vatican office for Church property), intervened to obtain for Caravaggio his first major church commission and his first painting with more than a handful of figures.
Caravaggio's Calling of Saint Matthew hangs opposite The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew. While the Martyrdom was probably the first to be started, the Calling was, by report, the first to be completed.[citation needed] The commission for these two lateral paintings — the Calling and the Martyrdom — is dated July 1599, and final payment was made in July 1600. Between the two, at the altar, is The Inspiration of Saint Matthew (1602).
The painting depicts the story from the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 9:9): "Jesus saw a man named Matthew at his seat in the custom house, and said to him, "Follow me", and Matthew rose and followed Him." Caravaggio depicts Matthew the tax collector sitting at a table with four other men. Jesus Christ and Saint Peter have entered the room, and Jesus is pointing at Matthew. A beam of light illuminates the faces of the men at the table who are looking at Jesus Christ. This is a depiction of a moment of spiritual awakening and conversion, which was something many Baroque artists were interested in painting, especially Caravaggio.
There is some debate over which man in the picture is Saint Matthew, as the surprised gesture of the bearded man at the table can be read in two ways.
Most writers on the Calling assume Saint Matthew to be the bearded man, and see him to be pointing at himself, as if to ask "Me?" in response to Christ's summons. This theory is strengthened when one takes into consideration the other two works in this series, The Inspiration of Saint Matthew, and The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew. The bearded man who models as Saint Matthew appears in all three works, with him unequivocally playing the role of Saint Matthew in both the "Inspiration" and the "Martyrdom".
A more recent interpretation proposes that the bearded man is in fact pointing at the young man at the end of the table, whose head is slumped. In this reading, the bearded man is asking "Him?" in response to Christ's summons, and the painting is depicting the moment immediately before a young Matthew raises his head to see Christ. Other writers describe the painting as deliberately ambiguous.
Some scholars speculate that Jesus is portrayed as the Last Adam or Second Adam as titled in the New Testament. This is displayed in Christ's hand as it reaches out towards Matthew. It is almost a mirrored image of Adam's hand in The Creation of Adam by Michelangelo, the namesake of Caravaggio. Twice in the New Testament, an explicit comparison is made between Jesus and Adam. In Romans 5:12–21, Paul argues that "just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous" (Romans 5:19, NIV). In 1 Corinthians 15:22, Paul argues that "as in Adam all die, so in Christ, all will be made alive," while in verse 45 he calls Jesus the "last/ultimate/final Adam".

Filled this terranium on a better surface. A couple of months ago, I had two beautful glass jars, filled them with all sorts of lovlies and the top of the table tipped and sent the lot into a million glassy pieces on the floor. I was also in pieces and sobbed hysterically whilst my stoic husband cleaned the lot up!
My first complete Munny. They're so hard to paint especially if you're like me and have absolutely no artistic ability. I think he turned out really sloppy and lame. Poor little guy :(
I hope my next two turn out better.

Signalmen at work in Aberdeen South signal box shortly before its closure and demolition.
This was a rather austere wartime brick built box opened in 1942 and closed in mid 1981 as part of the Aberdeen resignalling scheme.
The Crewe-built BR(LMR) 4½” frame was a replacement for the original REC 150 lever frame and was unique to Aberdeen.
13th April 1981

Prepare to run.
I understand Trafalgar square in London has been cleared of pigeons. I urge the city to consult with them.
Great evening at The Complete Madness concert last night with Caroline in Ashford. This is keyboard player David.
February 26th, 2022 marked the second to last day of normal operation on the Chicago South Shore’s famous 1.8 mile stretch of street running on 10th and 11th streets in Michigan City Indiana. The railroad and the community have shared this stretch of roadway since 1908, and over the past 114 years much has changed. Michigan City and the surrounding areas have changed, the railroad has changed and modernized with the times, but one of the things that, for the most part, has stayed relatively the same is the presence of the Chicago South Shore & South Bend railroad and its interurban and freight trains running down the middle of the streets. The community and railroad have coexisted fairly well over the past 114 years considering trains and motorists share the same piece of roadway and the proximity of homes and businesses to the railroad.
However, change is inevitable whether we like it or not I guess, and soon the famous street running will be significantly altered. The streets will close and vehicle traffic will be detoured onto alternate routes. Interurban passenger service will use buses to bridge this stretch of railroad, and freight traffic will mostly run at night. Once the $500 million project is complete the vehicle traffic will return to a new one-way road, the interurban passenger and freight trains will once again run on a more normal schedule but will return to a new double track main through town. The project is designed to help with congestion, efficiency, and safety through Michigan City. But at the same time it comes at a loss of the famous street running that was a time capsule glimpse back into a forgotten era of railroading over 100 years ago.
As the sun dips down close to the horizon on this late February day, a pair of CSS SD38-2s run light down 10th street, as people from all over flocked to Michigan City to document the final moves of normal operations down what could be the most famous stretch of street running left in North America.
Hand appliqued petals in the Joseph's coat pattern using a charm pack of Moda's Botany for Spiced Coffee in the Charming Mini Swap.
I used the pebble quilting to help create texture and make the "coat" stand out...but as soon as I was finished all I could see was starfish in the sand. And that is what it is now named.
Now my girls have some place to go when they feel like sewing something up, and they have everything they need :)
I should have gotten the dress form in the pic, darnit.
I'd come over with a camera because there was a juvenile male king parrot about. The handful of seeds was to encourage him to come into the open where there was more light and he wouldn't be backlit.
That's when an adult male flew into him and spoiled everything. Now there was no chance of him coming out of cover.
None of that meant a thing to these opportunists. This pair of crested pigeons pounced on the unattended goodies. Personally, I think of them as pointy pigeons — it makes more sense, and rolls off the tongue more easily. The female is on the left. The big lump, his head a blurred pecking machine, is the male. I know this for certain because he'd done his silly tail up jig. She was having none of it. What she wanted was lunch.
There's other different things in the frame: a horseshoe, complete with still clinched nails and in the background, a very rusted, very, very large bit. I have no notion how that shoe with clinched nails could have made it off a hoof, but it conveniently stops bird seed flying everywhere. There was a horse's skull in the paddock for a time so I do wonder if the two things were related. Stuff like this keeps turning up: broken china, odd spoons, bottles of all sorts, even a Victorian Era Army belt buckle, pre-Federation, with the British Royal motto. Yep, that's different!
