The Seasons | Anselm Kiefer – Before Spring – NYTimes.com.
Text on the work is translated as follows: Snow melt in the Odenwald. Goodbye, winter, parting hurts but your departure makes my heart cheer. Gladly I forget thee, may you always be far away. Goodbye, winter, parting hurts.

The snow is melting and trees are sprouting. I have applied the disc to the field in order to soften the ground for grass seed. Not the above field, but our field here in Texas. Warmer here.

Oh yes it is time to do the field, what a reminder that it is that time of the year, to fertilize, irrigate, reseed etc etc ,work and no play. I just have 1 1/2 acres compared what you have.
All of the spring time chores. You irrigate? Good if you can. We are on a co-op out here and have one well. The well is not sufficient for widespread irrigation.
Yes, it’s time for those buds to show us the way into spring. Wonderful quote and photo. Goodbye winter and hello spring. It was a spring day here today. One to be treasured.
Isn’t that a good quote! For some reason I like the scribbling on the photo. It was out of yesterday’s NY Times.
I liked that scribbling too.
I thought spring would be coming, but it snowed here last night, no complaints, since we do need the moisture, just have to wait a few more days for spring.
Evangeline, we are having a freeze this evening. Light snow dust this morning and the wind is high.
That is so cool. Pardon my naivete…is it a current art piece or a historical piece?
It’s a 2010 recent piece. I need to put in the date somewhere on the post. Thanks, Martie.
