The ducks have a routine.
IMG_2799
Every morning.
IMG_2796
They gotta wash up.
IMG_2795
It’s a serious, fastidious business.

IMG_2779
I think he heard me. He’s going back to work.

The Slanted Little House

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
