They said to expect an eight pounder, so we picked out her "coming home" outfit accordingly. When it came time for her to actually come home, she was only five pounds twelve ounces. At least the dress fits nicely in this composition.
We planted bell peppers on the back deck that summer. I guess something to keep our minds busy. They produced like crazy; we couldn't eat them all. But, after everything we'd lost and our other troubles with producing, I couldn't bring my self to throw them away. So, I photographed them. They were/are beautiful.
