Welcome to Thelma's front porch! She is peeling potatoes for the supper table. The task is routine at this point (she has done this many, many times before). her thoughts, however, are elsewhere. Could she be thinking about a grandchild playing nearby? Perhaps it's a tune being played on the radio that is provoking a "sentimental journey" to memories long cherished. 

I have sculpted a number of personages doing chores that are associated with rural American tradition. Nellie snaps beans, Mabel makes baskets, Mattie quilts, Rachel churns, Leah shucks corn, Rebecca cross-stiches and Anne makes a Christmas wreath. 

Thelma has emptied one basket of potatoes and wouldn't you know it, there's another awaiting her attention.
