i like this picture of a medieval nw euro (from somewhere near brugge?) nuclear family — husband, wife, & baby inside house. servants chopping and gathering wood? another servant (a milkmaid) tending to the cow? very likely scenario for medieval nw europe.

yeah, i know. (~_^) whenever i anthropomorphize things or animals, i tend to refer to it/the animal as male for some reason. like our car is Mr. Car. can’t explain it. (*^_^*)
