After we cancelled for rain once and then again due to the pandemic’s stay-at-home order, this sweet family invited me to go explore The Ivy Place with them. They admired wildflowers, picked blackberries to take home, and walked through a beautiful garden - the whole time enjoying togetherness as a family and the farm’s sense of peace and wide open space. As their daughter grows I hope her parents remember how she gently passed her hand over the wildflowers as she chose her favorites and how she led her dad through sunflowers holding his hand. I hope her mom remembers the feeling of snuggling her four year old cheeks and hair. And I hope when their daughter is an adult she can look at these pictures and feel the tranquility of that day and the love she experienced in her childhood.
