  “Mommy, maybe it will snow tomorrow,” my little Farmer boy half asks, half declares at bedtime.  He looks longingly out the bedroom window, white curtain brushed aside and fingertips pressed to the cool glass. “Maybe . . . ” I offer tentatively, kindly.  The forecast shows temperatures in the 50s and 60s for days…

Hello Dear Friends! At the end of the summer we had the awesome privilege of having photographer Joy Prouty and her family at our home for one beautiful sun-drenched August evening.
