For the past 3 years, a customer of mine has been photographing a calendar for a group called WINGS located in the Chicago area. WINGS is dedicated to ending domestic violence and homelessness and currently serves women and children in need from over 400 families. Astoundingly, they receive around 200 phone calls per month from women in the […]
WINGS
It is so nice to have big boys with a beater truck to pick up the junk you scored at the local benefit sale. This may or may not be refinished and will be used as seating at my big dining table. If I don’t like it at the table, there are many other places I […]

This cow tank as a kiddie pool is an excellent notion. Sturdy and….sturdy. Too hot to cook, we went to town for supper. The car thermometer read 104 […]
Happiness is…. wild huckleberries right ouside my front door dimpled baby fingers bringing me a juicy handful (albeit a little smooshed) Win a pair of little girl’s eden ruffle jeans… here.
