This is a country farm scene which could have been in the area where the rug hooker lived in rural Nova Scotia. He was a veteran of WWII (52nd battery, 3rd Anti-Tank Regiment, RCA). He created his rugs as he hooked along. He did not have a pattern or design stamped on the burlap. He would pick up his hook and yarn and start hooking at one end until he reached the other end. His design was formed as he hooked along. No two rugs were the same however, most were of rural communities in various seasons. His mother, Hanora Kaulback taught him to hook when he was 6 years old. He would sell his hooked rugs at Rags to Rugs in Mahone Bay where the tourists would visit every year to buy his beautiful rugs. Ormand Kaulback: 1910: 2007
