Since I began blogging and have seen so many lovely photo blogs, I have started to view my world more keenly with a photographer’s eye.

Every Thursday we spend the day at a farm that was dedicated to people who have special needs. We’re so fortunate to live so close to such a special place. Our students get an hour horseback lesson, grooming session and a few even clean the stalls. We all have lunch together, then take a short… Read More Farm Day
