This photograph was shot through a side window of the house, and the glass reflects the barn and fence and yard outside. It captures in many ways the spirit of Florence, the remarkable woman who lived in the house for 80 years until she was 103. Independent and proud, she called it her dream house, and now, it is our dream house and we are so drawn to it by her powerful and creative spirit. If there are ghosts and she is one, I hope she will hang around her house forever.  It would be a pleasure to have her spirit around. Rocky was her companion for the last years of here life, which ended in December.

It seems Rocky has at least one more chapter to go. Perhaps more.
